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 November 6th at 6pm over at La Madeline in Central Texas Marketplace.
The book up for discussion is The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon
You can find the Likely Stories review of this book here
RECENT EPISODES OF LIKELY STORIES
Likely Stories - The Treasure Hunters Club by Tom Ryan
Welcome back to Likely Stories. I’m Paige Connell, and I teach English at Midway High School. Billed as “Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone” meets “The Goonies”, I can confirm that this fun, winding story of buried treasure and buried secrets gives off strong vibes of that great book and the classic movie.
Likely Stories - Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt
Hello, I am Rebecca Flavin, Director of Engaged Learning Curriculum and Senior Lecturer in Political Science at Baylor University. One of the best books I have read so far this year is Shelby Van Pelt’s, “Remarkably Bright Creatures.”

Likely Stories - The Unworthy by Augustina Bazterrica
Welcome to this weeks edition of Likely Stories, my name is Malcolm Foster, operations assistant at KWBU. The book I want to discuss today is a brutal, yet occasionally beautiful example of how some things, for better and worse, even in the most drastic of scenarios, never change.
Likely Stories - Witchcraft for Wayward Girls by Grady Hendrix
Hi. Welcome back to Likely Stories. I'm Paige Connell and I teach English at Midway High School. The late 1960s must have been quite a time to be alive. I missed it by just a decade or so. Groovy tunes, free love, mod fashion, patriarchal oppression. Wait, that last one doesn't sound so fun, but it is a topic that the author delves into in the social commentary masquerading as a story about unwed pregnant teenagers in Central Florida.
Likely Stories - Thirst by Mary Oliver
In Thirst, Mary Oliver invites us into a quiet conversation between sorrow and faith, where nature and grace meet in every line.
Likely Stories - The Exceptions by Kate Zernike
Hello, I'm Rebecca Flavin, a faculty member at Baylor University. My sister in law, who is a rocket scientist. Yes. I'm serious. Gave me Kate Zernike’s most recent book, ‘The Exceptions: Nancy Hopkins, MIT and the fight for Women in Science’. She knows I'm a fan of biographies and stories about brilliant, inspiring women, and this book checks both of those boxes.
Likely Stories - Death in Holy Orders by P.D. James
This is the Reverend Dr. Andrew Armond, associate rector of Saint Albans Episcopal Church here in Waco. Welcome to this week's edition of Likely Stories.
