Welcome to The Lit Lounge, a dynamic book club inspired by the thought-provoking works that were nominated and considered for the Aspen Words Literary Prize. This book club meets every 3rd Tuesday at 5:00pm-6:00pm.
Each month, we dive into exceptional fiction that illuminates critical social issues, challenges perspectives, and fosters meaningful conversations. Our selections span diverse voices and genres, exploring themes like justice, identity, resilience, and the human experience so that we can delve into stories that not only captivate with their artistry but also ignite discussions about the world we share. Whether you’re a lifelong book lover or someone looking to expand your literary horizons, The Lit Lounge is a space for readers who value the power of fiction to inspire change, connect communities, and spark new ideas.
The intention of this group is to gather and discuss great books. Each month, you are encouraged to select the book you’re most interested in from the wide world of Aspen Words Literary Prize nominees and then come together to discuss, share insights, and encourage fellow readers. Join us for engaging dialogue, thoughtful insights, and, of course, the occasional surprise guest or creative twist!
Choose one of these incredible books to read and discuss.
