Likely Stories Book Club

For November's meeting of The Likely Stories Book Club, we'll be diving into a bit of British crime drama.

This month's book is P.D. James' detective novel, 'Death in Holy Orders' - in which Scotland Yard Commander Adam Dalgliesh investigates a student's suspicious death at an isolated theological college on the Suffolk coast

You can find Rev. Dr. Andrew Armond's original review of the book here, and you can join the conversation on November 5, from 6 pm at La Madeleine.

RECENT EPISODES OF LIKELY STORIES
Likely Stories - Life in the Key of G by Kenny G & Phillip Lerman
You may not know the name Kenny Gorelick, but you’ve probably already got an opinion of him. He’s the best-selling instrumentalist of all time, and his music was a signature sound in the 1990s and beyond—Kenny G.
Likely Stories - Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman
Have you heard about the new fandom favorite series, Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman?
Likely Stories - Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris
My name is Heather White. I teach Art History at Baylor University. For today’s segment of Likely Stories, I’m reviewing Dead Until Dark from 2001 by Charlaine Harris.
Likely Stories - The Other Valley by Scott Alexander Howard
Welcome to Likely Stories. I’m Ellen Filgo, a librarian at Baylor University, and I really love time travel stories.
Likely Stories - The Soulmate by Sally Hepworth
The “Soulmate” by Sally Hepworth. Sally Hepworth is an Australian writer, and she is a New York Times bestselling author.How much are we willing to put up with when it comes to the ones we love? Is there such a thing as a perfect marriage? When are we enabling the ones we love instead of helping them? These are all questions you will ask yourself as you read this book.
Likely Stories - This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me by Ilona Andrews
Welcome to Likely Stories. I am Erin Penn and I would like to share with you my new obsession. “This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me” by Ilona Andrews, the first book in the Maggie the Undying fantasy series.“This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me”, but not for lack of trying.
Likely Stories - The Correspondent by Virginia Evans
Hello, and welcome to Likely Stories, everyone. I’m Paige Connell, and I am an English teacher, so it feels like, sometimes daily, I am “fighting the good fight” against the use of AI in place of real thinking and writing, the omnipresence of technology in our communication, and the detriment that those things can produce in a new generation. But lest I sound too cranky, let me say what a refreshing delight it was to read The Correspondent by Virginia Evans (and I do mean read it in physical form versus listening or reading on my Kindle, as even I am wont to often do).
Likely Stories - Love, Sivvy by R.L. Toalson
I'm Joe Riley, and this is Likely Stories. I recently accompanied my wife, a school librarian, to the Texas Library Association convention. She won an award, and I'm proud of her, but this is not a review of her, but rather of a book she picked up there: an autographed copy of 'Love, Sivvy', a novel inspired by the life letters and diaries of young Sylvia Plath.
Likely Stories - Saints and Liars by Deborah Dwork
I consider myself a fairly courageous person, but I will confess after reading this book, I’ve decided maybe not. To purposefully travel to foreign countries to put yourself in harm’s way to protect complete strangers is a level of bravery reserved for the military, not your neighbors.Welcome to “Likely Stories.”I’m Diane Kemper.
Likely Stories - Trouble Boys by Bob Mehr
Hi, Malcolm Foster here, operations assistant at KWBU and habitual stacker of books that one day, hopefully, will eventually be read. For this week's episode of Likely Stories, I’m combining two of my passions. Music and the written word.
