ChitChat Book Club 2026

To commemorate the 85th Anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the United States entering WWII, this year's list features books about that era in history. Fictionalized accounts of spies, resistance fighters and civilians from various locations where the fighting occurred comprise the bulk of the list. They are in addition to the non-fiction titles chosen to tell the authentic stories of World War II. Join the group on the second Thursday at 1 pm of each month or attend just a few.
