Community newsroom. Digital publication. Nonprofit organization. Book club? That’s right, Flyers. We’re bringing Tulsans together to read, discuss and connect over books about Tulsa or by Tulsans. Whether you’re a seasoned reader or just getting back into books, everyone is welcome.
What We’re Reading
“Hawkes Harbor” is a 2004 supernatural horror and adventure novel by S.E. Hinton, who wrote “The Outsiders” and “Rumble Fish.”
An orphan and a bastard, Jamie Sommers grew up knowing he had no hope of heaven. Conceived in adultery and born in sin, Jamie was destined to repeat the sins of his parents -or so the nuns told him. And he proved them right. Taking to sea, Jamie sought out danger and adventure in exotic ports all over the world as a smuggler, gunrunner-and murderer. Tough enough to handle anything, he’s survived foreign prisons, pirates, and a shark attack. But in a quiet seaside town in Delaware, Jamie discovered something that was enough to drive him insane-and change his life forever. For it was in Hawkes Harbor that Jamie came face to face with the ultimate evil….
Publisher’s Weekly said “this is a contemporary Treasure Island with a genre-bending twist.”

Pizza Party
Many adult readers will remember the childhood endeavor of reading enough books to earn a personal pan pizza.
We’re putting our own spin on that and throwing a pizza party at the end of the year for those who attend six or more book club meetings this year.
Be sure to sign in at the next meeting.
About the Book Club
Each month, executive editor Gary Lee and food, arts & culture editor Tim Landes host a conversation around a book with local ties. This isn’t an author book talk, it’s a chance to connect with fellow Tulsans and explore our community’s history together.
Expect a wide variety of books and maybe a few surprises along the way.
