July’s book club pick is here: Fish Tales by Nettie Jones!

Fish Tales — originally published in 1984 — was Nettie Jones’ debut novel, first acquired by Toni Morrison, who was then an editor at Random House.

A mesmerizing spin through the high-rolling high times of 1970s New York and Detroit, Nettie Jones’s Fish Tales is a lost classic taking its rightful place in the spotlight.

A bold exploration of the blurred line between love and control, pleasure and addiction, Nettie Jones’s Fish Tales offers a glittering, devastating portrait of a woman’s pursuit of her own kind of freedom. As provocative as it is moving, as profane as it is artful, it illuminates the warring forces of power, desire, intimacy, and fear, and exposes the raw nerve of our yearning to be loved on our own terms.

Register for book club at wovenwordsbookshop.com/events - we’ll meet to discuss Fish Tales on Sunday July 12 at 6pm!

Why all the fish books?! 🎣🧢😂

Hey, when inspiration strikes, we just roll with it.

It all started with the picture book that Kira insisted on for last month’s staff pick… “Trust me. This one slaps.” Don’t Trust Fish by Neil Sharpson

A few weeks later at Read What You Can Club, a book club member chose S*x, Death, and Fly Fishing. A memoir by John Gierach.

Kira picked the next one… Fish Tales by Nettie Jones. Originally published in the 80s when Toni Morrison — then editor at Random House — acquired it. It’s definitely not about fish.

Then Megan — one of our honorary staff members who supported our crowdfund before we even opened — sent in her picks for this month. I couldn’t believe it. Another fish book! Why Fish Don’t Exist by Lulu Miller.

So, to round out the stack, I wandered to our “ocean” section of the picture books and picked out A Beginner’s Guide: My First Day Fishing. A beautiful, educational book for any child learning how to fish.

What is the most random theme you’ve seen pop up and keep repeating in the books you select? Fish? Maybe a specific plant? A bird? Maybe an obscure geographical location? Tell us you random literary themes in the comments, we’d love to see what everybody’s accidentally into 😂

We are so excited to host Brad and Joy for an author signing at Woven Words Bookshop on August 1! 🤩

Brad is from Duncan Falls, OH, and he and his grandma Joy embarked on a seven-year journey to visit every US National Park.

Raised in Appalachia, Grandma Joy lived a life shaped by constraints and hardships, while Brad grappled with the weight of family rifts and unresolved pain. Together, they embarked on a quest not only to witness the majesty of America’s wild landscapes but also to heal generations of struggles and misunderstandings. Over seven years, they sought to visit all sixty-three US National Parks. From the towering peaks of Denali to the otherworldly beauty of the Everglades, each park became a classroom, teaching them profound lessons about nature, resilience, and each other.

Grandma Joy and Me follows a seven-year adventure of intergenerational healing, wherein a grandmother and grandson find themselves released from the injustices—real and imagined—that had long held them hostage. An emotionally charged exploration of love, forgiveness, and resilience, this unique bond between a young man and his ninety-three-year-old grandmother—the oldest person to visit every US National Park—is more than just any travel tale; it is a testament to what makes us deeply human.

Join us and meet the lovely Joy and Brad in August! ☀️
