New Book of the Month!

The SWIFT Book Club has a new Book of the Month! Our March pick is The Choice by Nicholas Sparks. This novel details the beginning of a relationship sparked between new neighbors in a coastal North Carolina town. Travis Parker is good-looking, laid-back and enjoys a life filled with motorcycling, boating and grilling with his friends. Gabby Holland has just moved in next door and thinks she has her life all planned out. Years later, Travis is faced with a difficult choice that effects both of their lives.

SWIFT Book-of-the-Month

Welcome to February! A new month for all of us means a new Book of the Month for the SWIFT Book Club. Our pick for February is The Maltese Falcon by Dashiell Hammett. Hammett’s detective Samuel Spade is the quintessential hard-boiled gumshoe; he drinks, he brawls and he always gets the girl. Of course, once he gets her, he might just turn around and turn her in. This novel is an absolute must read for any fan of detective fiction or anyone who likes to read on the edge of their seat!
