If you prefer the comfort of your home, Club Book offers several streaming-only events. These virtual sessions feature discussions with well-known authors from Monday, April 7, through Thursday, May 8.

Kick off the virtual series with Samantha Irby, whose book “Quietly Hostile” resonated with many readers. Ann Napolitano’s tear-jerking “Hello Beautiful” and Alison Espach’s “The Wedding People” will be discussed on April 23 and 30, respectively.

Wrapping up the lineup is Jesse Q. Sutanto, celebrated for her mystery series featuring Vera Wong. Sutanto will promote her new book, “Vera Wong’s Guide to Snooping (on a Dead Man),” on May 8.
