Books & Bonbons

A monthly book club hosted by Bucca del'Aqua and McGuires

Get the book at Bucca del’Aqua.
Meet at McGuires.
Bring a friend.

Books & Bonbons is a casual monthly book club for anyone who loves a good book and good conversation. Each month, we’ll choose a new book, gather at McGuires on the last Wednesday of the month, and spend the evening talking about what we’ve read.

Come every month, or just join us when a book catches your eye.
There’s no commitment and no pressure.

HOW IT WORKS

1. GET THE BOOK

Pick up the month's book at Bucca del’Aqua and save 15% on the featured book.

For future months, the book will be available at Bucca del’Aqua with 15% off for those who attend the book club meeting, and 10% off for everyone else.

2. MEET AT McGUIRES

Join us on the last Wednesday of every month from 6:30–8:00 PM at McGuires.

On book club night, enjoy a free bonbon with your drink purchase while you settle in and socialize.

3. TALK ABOUT THE BOOK

Each meeting will include time to catch up and socialize, followed by a guided book discussion. Come ready to share your thoughts, listen to other perspectives, and maybe discover something you missed the first time around.

And yes, you’re welcome to bring a friend!

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY

You do not need to buy the book from Bucca del’Aqua or purchase anything at McGuires to participate in the book club.

The discounts and bonbon are our way of making the evening a little extra special—not a requirement for joining the conversation.

Read the book however you like, show up when a selection interests you, and join us for the months that work for you.
