Step into a little magic with us at Maison Alkaaby as our book club gathers to discuss The Witches of New York by Ami McKay. Set in 1880s New York among tea leaves, fortune telling, mystery, and a touch of the supernatural, this enchanting novel feels perfectly suited for an evening of conversation, candlelight, and curiosity. Whether you’ve already finished the book or are just beginning the journey, we would love to have you join us for discussion, community, and a little literary escape. Wednesday, September 30th 6pm-8pm 360 Main Street,Brookville, Pennsylvania

October at Maison Alkaaby Book Club is going to feel a little darker… a little moodier, perfect for Halloween  This month, we’re diving into Frankenstein by Mary Shelley—a timeless classic that is so much more than a “monster story.” It’s a haunting, beautiful exploration of ambition, creation, loneliness, and what it truly means to be human. With a new film adaptation bringing this iconic story back into the spotlight this year, there’s no better time to experience (or revisit) the original work that started it all. An evening of literature, candlelight, and connection. Wednesday, October 28th 6pm-8pm
