Likely Stories Book Club
Likely Stories has been a local favorite for many years, and now a new chapter in its long standing history has begun!
Each month we will meet to have a fun discussion of one of the titles reviewed on-air on Likely Stories. After the discussion, we'll randomly draw our next book!
To become a part of this exciting group, and for further information, you can sign up to join the Likely Stories Book Club mailing list here.
The next meeting of the LIKELY STORIES BOOK CLUB will be taking place on Thursday March 5th at 6pm at La Madeline in Central Texas Marketplace.
The book up for discussion is Sipsworth by Simon Van Booy.
You can find the Likely Stories review by contributor Paige Connell of this book here.
RECENT EPISODES OF LIKELY STORIES
Likely Stories - American Road Trip by Patrick Flores-Scott
War is hell. And what comes after war, when soldiers return home, is often its own version of torment, one that takes exceptional patience and grace from everyone--those who love the soldiers as well as the soldiers themselves.
Likely Stories - Lorne: The Man Who Invented Saturday Night Live by Susan Morrison
I’ve been reading a lot about Saturday Night Live lately, for a couple of reasons. First, I talk about the show when I cover the history of television in my Introduction to Mass Communication class at Baylor, and I like to keep up with what’s going on with SNL. Second, Saturday Night Live just celebrated its 50th anniversary, so there’s been plenty written about it in the last year or so.

Likely Stories - A Case of Mice and Murder by Sally Smith
Welcome to this week’s installment of Likely Stories on KWBU. My name is Gia Chevis, and I confess that I watch what is probably an unhealthy number of cozy murder mystery shows, mainly British and British-adjacent. I am absolutely the target audience for A Case of Mice and Murder, the first novel in Sally Smith’s newish detective series.
