BLUEBIRD BOOKS EDMOND

A New take on book clubs...

BOOK CIRCLE is for people with full plates and busy lives. There’s no ongoing commitment, no pressure to be a “book club person,” and no expectation beyond curiosity. Come to listen, share thoughts if you want, plan a night out with a friend, and enjoy engaging conversation around one shared read. Reading something that speaks to you and then gathering with others to talk about it is a small, rare pleasure - and honestly, hard to beat.

This is for those who read 80 or three books a year. No pressure, no expectations, just find the book that intrigues you and enjoy gathering with others to discuss or just listen. Each BOOK CIRCLE is limited to 30 for registration, so we can literally sit in a circle and engage with each other.

We’ll announce a book our booksellers are excited about 6-8 weeks out from when we plan to meet, charge a small fee that includes a light meal and activity/gift, and BYOB within a spill-proof cup.

THE THINGS WE NEVER SAY

Join us on July 28, 2026 for our Bluebird Books Book Circle discussing Pulitzer Prize-winning author Elizabeth Strout's THE THINGS WE NEVER SAY at 6:00 PM at Bluebird Books, 21 S. Broadway, Downtown Edmond. A chance incident sparks a powerful realization in a beloved teacher’s life. Strout delivers a moving exploration of the human condition—one that brims with compassion for each and every one of her indelible characters. With exquisite prose and profound insight, The Things We Never Say takes one man’s fears and loneliness and makes them universal. And in the same breath, it captures the abiding love that sustains and holds us all.

THE CALAMITY CLUB

Join us on August 25, 2026, for our Bluebird Books Book Circle discussing THE CALAMITY CLUB by Kathryn Stockett at 6:00 PM at Bluebird Books, 21 S. Broadway, Downtown Edmond. From the best-selling author of The Help, Stockett's The Calamity Club will make you laugh, cry, and cheer—an epic testament to resilience, friendship, and the fierce, funny women who know that calamity can be the spark of new beginnings. This is Kathryn Stockett at her most confident, heartfelt, and hilarious—the triumphant return of one of the most beloved storytellers of our time.

WHISTLER

Join us on September 22, 2026, for our Bluebird Books Book Circle discussing WHISTLER by Ann Patchett at 6:00 PM at Bluebird Books, 21 S. Broadway, Downtown Edmond. Whistler is a story about two adults looking back on the choices they made and the choices made for them. It’s a story about bravery, memory, the often small yet consequential moments that define our lives, and the endless stream of loss that in time comes for us all. Beautiful in its simplicity, it is ultimately about how love endures and how the feeling of being known by another person, even for a short time, can change everything.
