The Bookworm Omaha - Events Feed http://www.bookwormomaha.com/event/feed May 29 2015- July 08 2015 en I Should Have Read That http://www.bookwormomaha.com/event/i-should-have-read-13 <div class="start">Start: Jun 1 2015 - 6:30pm</div> <div class="end">End: Jun 1 2015 - 6:30pm</div> <p>The <strong>I Should Have Read That in School </strong>classics group will discuss<em> As You Like I</em>t by William Shakespeare (Modern Library, $8.00). This wisely funny comedy, which contains some of Shakespeare's loveliest poetry, contrasts a court's world of envy and rivalry with a forest's world of compassion and harmony. In the Forest of Arden, the banished young heroine, Rosalind, disguised as a gentleman farmer, encounters an extraordinary assemblage of characters, including a fool, a malcontent traveler, her own banished father, and the banished young man she loves. Romantic happiness triumphs, even as we laugh at the excesses of love, at the ways of court and countryside, indeed, at everything, in this masterpiece of comic writing.</p> Mon, 25 May 2015 18:20:59 -0400 Art Discussion Group http://www.bookwormomaha.com/event/art-discussion-group-18 <div class="start">Start: Jun 2 2015 - 1:00pm</div> <div class="end">End: Jun 2 2015 - 1:00pm</div> <p>The <strong>Art Discussion Group</strong> will discuss <em>The Cave Painters: Probing the Mysteries of the World’s First Artists</em> by Gregory Curtis (Anchor, $15.95). <em>The Cave Painters</em> is a vivid introduction to the spectacular cave paintings of France and Spain--the individuals who rediscovered them, theories about their origins, their splendor and mystery. Curtis makes us see the astonishing sophistication and power of the paintings and tells us what is known about their creators, the Cro-Magnon people of some 40,000 years ago. He takes us through various theories--that the art was part of fertility or hunting rituals, or used for religious purposes, or was clan mythology--examining the ways interpretations have changed over time. Rich in detail, personalities, and history, <em>The Cave Painters</em> is permeated with awe for those distant humans who developed--perhaps for the first time--both the ability for abstract thought and a profound and beautiful way to express it. </p> Mon, 25 May 2015 18:22:50 -0400 Killing Time http://www.bookwormomaha.com/event/killing-time-1 <div class="start">Start: Jun 2 2015 - 6:30pm</div> <div class="end">End: Jun 2 2015 - 6:30pm</div> <p>The <strong>Killing Time Book Group</strong> will discuss <em>Death Comes Silently</em> by Carolyn Hart (Berkley, $7.99).  Business is slow for Annie Darling’s mystery bookstore. To boost her sales, Annie decides to host a book signing for the island’s resident writer. During the signing, Gretchen Burkholt, a fellow volunteer at the local charity shop leaves Annie multiple voicemails about scandalous news she’s dying to share. So, when the event wraps up, Annie heads over to hear the latest scoop…only to find Gretchen dead on the floor, an axe by her side. Annie, with the help of her husband, Max, uncovers a mysterious plot involving an overturned kayak, a stolen motorboat, a troubled love affair, and a reckless teenager. Annie will have to keep her eyes peeled and use every trick in the book to track down a cold-blooded killer in the dead of winter. </p> Mon, 25 May 2015 18:24:07 -0400 What Are You Reading? http://www.bookwormomaha.com/event/what-are-you-reading-28 <div class="start">Start: Jun 3 2015 - 12:00pm</div> <div class="end">End: Jun 3 2015 - 12:00pm</div> <p><strong>What Are You Reading?</strong> book chat.

Bush</em> by James Mann (Times Books, $25.00).  Republicans viewed him as a resolute leader who guided America through the September 11 attacks and retaliated in Afghanistan and Iraq, while Democrats saw him as an overmatched president who led America into two inconclusive wars that sapped the nation's resources and diminished its stature. When Bush left office amid a growing financial crisis, both parties were eager to move on.  Mann sheds light on why George W. Bush made the decisions that shaped his presidency, what went wrong, and how the internal debates and fissures within his administration played out in such a charged atmosphere. He shows how and why Bush became such a polarizing figure in both domestic and foreign affairs, and he examines the origins and enduring impact of Bush's most consequential actions--including Iraq, the tax cuts, and the war on terror. In this way, Mann points the way to a more complete understanding of George W. Bush and his times. </p> Mon, 25 May 2015 18:26:35 -0400 Oswald’s Super Dooper Storytime http://www.bookwormomaha.com/event/oswald%E2%80%99s-super-dooper-storytime <div class="start">Start: Jun 6 2015 - 10:00am</div> <div class="end">End: Jun 6 2015 - 10:00am</div> <p> Enjoy <strong>Oswald’s Super Dooper Storytime Adventures</strong> featuring stories, songs and fun with Oswold and Liam Chleborad.

The needs stretched beyond the classroom and the sisters in those early years found themselves also assisting the orphaned, the homeless, the hungry, the poor and the ill. As the Nebraska foundation grew and more young women came to dedicate their lives to Mercy, the scope of the Order's influence widened. Thirteen independent groups amalgamated in 1929 to form the Omaha Province. In 1991, Omaha joined 24 other Mercy communities to form the Institute of the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas. In 2008, The Omaha Regional Community joined with five other former regions to become the West Midwest Community of the Sisters of Mercy. Because the needs and ills of God's people are diverse, the Sisters of Mercy work in a variety of ministries. They educate, counsel, conduct retreats and give spiritual direction, work on parish staffs, care for the ill, protect peoples' legal rights, assist the disabled, and run soup kitchens, shelters, and day care centers.  </p> Mon, 25 May 2015 18:28:28 -0400 Wednesday Bookworms http://www.bookwormomaha.com/event/wednesday-bookworms-32 <div class="start">Start: Jun 10 2015 - 6:30pm</div> <div class="end">End: Jun 10 2015 - 6:30pm</div> <p>The <strong>Wednesday Bookworms </strong>will discuss <em>Goldfinch</em> by Donna Tartt (Back Bay, $20.00).  Theo Decker, a 13-year-old New Yorker, miraculously survives an accident that kills his mother. Abandoned by his father, Theo is taken in by the family of a wealthy friend. Bewildered by his strange new home on Park Avenue, disturbed by schoolmates who don't know how to talk to him, and tormented above all by his longing for his mother, he clings to the one thing that reminds him of her: a small, mysteriously captivating painting that ultimately draws Theo into the underworld of art. As an adult, Theo moves silkily between the drawing rooms of the rich and the dusty labyrinth of an antiques store where he works. He is alienated and in love--and at the center of a narrowing, ever more dangerous circle.</p> Mon, 25 May 2015 18:29:40 -0400 Amiable Adult Readers http://www.bookwormomaha.com/event/amiable-adult-readers-8 <div class="start">Start: Jun 11 2015 - 6:00pm</div> <div class="end">End: Jun 11 2015 - 6:00pm</div> <p>Amiable Adult Readers Discussing Books Almost Always Read by Kids (Aardbaark) will discuss <em>Every Day</em> by David Levithan (Random House, $9.99).  Every day a different body.

It's all fine until the morning that A wakes up in the body of Justin and meets Justin's girlfriend, Rhiannon. From that moment, the rules by which A has been living no longer apply. Because finally A has found someone he wants to be with--day in, day out, day after day</p> Mon, 25 May 2015 18:31:03 -0400 Jeff Barnes will sign http://www.bookwormomaha.com/event/jeff-barnes-will-sign <div class="start">Start: Jun 13 2015 - 1:00pm</div> <div class="end">End: Jun 13 2015 - 1:00pm</div> <p><strong>Jeff Barnes</strong> will sign<em> Extra Innings: The Story of Modisett Ball Park</em> ($15.00).  <em>Extra Innings: The Story of Modisett Ball Park</em> is the tale of the panhandle town of Rushville, where two stingy brothers built a showpiece ball field, where professional baseball recruited a Nebraska kid who struck out Mantle, and where this “field of dreams” was restored as the best ballpark in western Nebraska</p> Mon, 25 May 2015 18:32:36 -0400 Books and Bagels http://www.bookwormomaha.com/event/books-and-bagels-39 <div class="start">Start: Jun 14 2015 - 11:00am</div> <div class="end">End: Jun 14 2015 - 11:00am</div> <p>The book group <strong>Books and Bagels </strong>will discuss T<em>he Invention of Wings</em> by Sue Monk Kidd (Penguin, $17.00).  The story follows Hetty “Handful” Grimke, a Charleston slave, and Sarah, the daughter of the wealthy Grimke family. The novel begins on Sarah's eleventh birthday, when she is given ownership over Handful, who is to be her handmaid. <em>The Invention of Wings</em> follows the next thirty-five years of their lives. Inspired in part by the historical figure of Sarah Grimke (a feminist, suffragist and, importantly, an abolitionist), Kidd allows herself to go beyond the record to flesh out the inner lives of all the characters, both real and imagined. </p> Mon, 25 May 2015 18:34:08 -0400 Stephanie Grace Whitson will sign http://www.bookwormomaha.com/event/stephanie-grace-whitson-will-sign <div class="start">Start: Jun 14 2015 - 1:00pm</div> <div class="end">End: Jun 14 2015 - 1:00pm</div> <p><strong>Stephanie Grace Whitson </strong>will sign <em>Daughter of the Regiment</em> (Hachette, $15.00).  As the mistress of her brother's Missouri plantation, Miss Elizabeth Blair has learned to play her part as the perfect hostess - and to not ask questions about her brother Walker's business affairs. When Walker's political aspirations lead him to organize the Wildwood Guard in support of the Confederacy - and to offer his plantation as the center of operations - Libbie must gracefully manage a house with officers in residence and soldiers camped on the lawn.

Scotch emerged from barley, tequila from agave, rum from sugarcane, bourbon from corn. Stewart explores the dizzying array of herbs, flowers, trees, fruits, and fungi that humans have, through ingenuity, inspiration, and sheer desperation, contrived to transform into alcohol over the centuries. Of all the extraordinary and obscure plants that have been fermented and distilled, a few are dangerous, some are downright bizarre, and one is as ancient as dinosaurs but each represents a unique cultural contribution to our global drinking traditions and our history. This fascinating concoction of biology, chemistry, history, etymology, and mixology with more than fifty drink recipes and growing tips for gardeners will make you the most popular guest at any cocktail party.</p> Mon, 25 May 2015 18:38:14 -0400 Jennifer Burge will sign http://www.bookwormomaha.com/event/jennifer-burge-will-sign <div class="start">Start: Jun 17 2015 - 6:00pm</div> <div class="end">End: Jun 17 2015 - 6:00pm</div> <p>Jennifer Burge will sign <em>The Devil Wears Clogs</em> ($19.99).  Her memoir reflects Jennifer's intellectual curiosity and wry sense of humor. A stranger in a land becoming increasingly hostile to Americans after the US decision to pursue war in Iraq, she must learn to adopt a balanced perspective of her native country. Jennifer leans on her professional strength and a heavy dose of sarcasm to navigate this unknown territory. Her faux pas are many before she begins to appreciate the true depth of the cultural divide. Jennifer contemplates that perhaps she must change and not an entire continent. </p> Mon, 25 May 2015 18:39:38 -0400 World War II At Night http://www.bookwormomaha.com/event/world-war-ii-night-24 <div class="start">Start: Jun 18 2015 - 6:00pm</div> <div class="end">End: Jun 18 2015 - 6:00pm</div> <p>The <strong>World War II At Night Group</strong> will discuss<em> Forgotten Ally: China's World War II, 1937-1945</em> by Rana Mitter (Mariner, $15.95).  In 1937, Chinese troops clashed with Japanese occupiers in the first battle of World War II. Joining with the United States, the Soviet Union, and Great Britain, China became the fourth great ally in a devastating struggle for its very survival. This gripping narrative focuses on a handful of unforgettable characters, including Chiang Kai-shek, Mao Zedong, and Chiang's American chief of staff, &quot;Vinegar Joe&quot; Stilwell. Mitter also recounts the sacrifice and resilience of everyday Chinese people through the horrors of bombings, famines, and the infamous Rape of Nanking. More than any other twentieth-century event, World War II was crucial in shaping China's worldview, making <em>Forgotten Ally</em> both a definitive work of history and an indispensable guide to today's China and its relationship with the West.</p> Mon, 25 May 2015 18:41:03 -0400 As the Worm Turns http://www.bookwormomaha.com/event/worm-turns-23 <div class="start">Start: Jun 18 2015 - 6:30pm</div> <div class="end">End: Jun 18 2015 - 6:30pm</div> <p>The<strong> As the Worm Turns Book Group </strong>will discuss the 2014 Omaha Reads selection, <em>The Meaning of Names</em> by Karen Gettert Shoemaker (Red Hen Press, $15.95).  Stuart, Nebraska is a long way from the battlefields of Western Europe, but it is not immune to the horrors of the first Great War for Peace.

Estranged from her parents because she married against their will, confronted with violence and prejudice against her people, and caught up in the midst of the worst plague the world has ever seen, Gerda Vogel, an American of German descent, must find the strength to keep her family safe from the effects of a war that threatens to consume the whole world.  The author will lead the discussion. </p> Mon, 25 May 2015 18:42:22 -0400 Local Children’s Author Day http://www.bookwormomaha.com/event/local-children%E2%80%99s-author-day <div class="start">Start: Jun 20 2015 - 2:33pm</div> <div class="end">End: Jun 20 2015 - 2:33pm</div> <p> <strong>Local Children’s Author Day</strong> – A full schedule will be available June 6. </p> <p> 2 p.m.　| <strong>Rebecca Gomez</strong> will sign <em>What About Moose?</em> (Atheneum, $17.99).

While the thirteen colonies came together and agreed to secede from the British Empire, the British were dispatching the largest armada ever to cross the Atlantic to crush the rebellion in the cradle. The Continental Congress and the Continental Army were forced to make decisions on the run, improvising as history congealed around them. Ellis meticulously examines the figures in this propitious moment, including George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and Britain's Admiral Lord Richard and General William Howe. He weaves together the political and military experiences as two sides of a single story, and shows how events on one front influenced outcomes on the other.</p> Mon, 25 May 2015 18:48:27 -0400 Peggy Williams will sign http://www.bookwormomaha.com/event/peggy-williams-will-sign <div class="start">Start: Jun 27 2015 - 12:00pm</div> <div class="end">End: Jun 27 2015 - 12:00pm</div> <p>Saturday, June 27 |<strong> Local Authors Day</strong> / 12 p.m. | <strong>Peggy Williams</strong> will sign <em>Look Up </em>($14.99).  The book Look Up shows how clouds speak without saying a word (example, the alphabet).

In the author's telling, the story becomes a critical tool for understanding how a Christian community works and for providing a basis for a critical assessment of the purpose and meaning of religious community in American life. </p> Mon, 25 May 2015 18:57:05 -0400 Chad Bishoff will sign http://www.bookwormomaha.com/event/chad-bishoff-will-sign <div class="start">Start: Jun 27 2015 - 5:00pm</div> <div class="end">End: Jun 27 2015 - 5:00pm</div> <p>Saturday, June 27 | <strong>Local Authors Day</strong> / 5 p.m. | <strong>Chad Bishoff</strong> will sign <em>Surviving Puberty: Erecting Your Future and Making the Breast Decisions </em>($18.95).  It's rare that a person comes into contact with their former self as they are going through the difficult years of puberty.

Buck also relates the rich history of the trail, the people who made the migration, and its significance to the country. This book was partially inspired by a covered wagon trip across PA that Buck's father took his eleven kids on in 1958. It was a magical experience for Rinker who was seven at the time, and when he sets out to cross the Oregon Trail he brings along his extremely colorful brother Nick, and Nick's loveable Jack Russell Terrier, Olive Oyl, as a way of reconnecting with family and finally addressing the haunting loss of his father years earlier.</p> Thu, 28 May 2015 22:47:25 -0400
