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!

The next meeting of the LIKELY STORIES BOOK CLUB will be taking place on Thursday June 5th at 6pm over at La Madeline in Central Texas Marketplace.
The book up for discussion is 'The Nothing Man' by Catherine Ryan Howard

Likely Stories - A Daughter of Fair Verona by Christina Dodd
As an English teacher. Shakespeare has been in my lesson plans for years. I could teach the bard with my eyes closed. But what if we could reimagine one of the most classic plays in a new light, and take the famous couplet 'for never was there a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo', and flip it on its end. For never was a story of more whimsy than this. Of the Montagues and their daughter Rosie.

Likely Stories - You're Not Listening: What You're Missing and Why It Matters by Kate Murphy
In my goal to read more nonfiction books, I picked up You’re Not Listening – what you’re missing and why it matters by Kate Murphy.

Welcome to today’s Likely Stories.

Likely Stories - Midnight Cowboy by James Kendrick
If you haven’t seen the movie Midnight Cowboy, don’t read Baylor professor James Kendrick’s new book Midnight Cowboy. It is full of spoilers…full.
Likely Stories - The Favorites by Layne Fargo
You know, investing my soul into a story about fictional competitive ice dancers was not what I had on my 2025 BINGO card, yet there I was, poring over the pages of this book and pouring out my emotions over this debut that is an homage to Wuthering Heights and reads like part fictional account and part Netflix Olympic documentary. Dig in your toepicks to 'The Favorites' by Layne Fargo and get ready for one heck of a spin.
