The Book Review Series is a longstanding tradition and fundraiser for Holly Hall Retirement Community that features reviews and discussions about current best sellers or noteworthy books. Reading the book ahead of the event is never a requirement, though many have chosen to do so after the entertaining review.
2022-2023 SEASON
This season pays tribute to the gathering power of food with a fantastic line up of local speakers. The entire season of three reviews runs from October to April, and we hope you will join us for all of these high-quality and thoughtfully curated literary experiences this fall. Each Book Review event will include brunch before you hear from the special guest speaker.
All 3 Events Will Take Place at Holly Hall.
Check-in will begin at 10:00am, with brunch being served at 10:30 AM.
