"Nailed" Book Club - The Mystery/Thriller Genre Club of Tri-State Area

The "Nailed" Book Club meets the 1st Friday every month at G-n-G Bakery & Cafe, Hwy 515, Blairsville, GA at 10:30 A.M. until Noon. This mystery/thriller genre club usually reads 2 books per month and discusses them at the next month's meeting. Included in this genre are many marvelous avenues for books that take us into all areas of literature; I.E:  historical, non-fiction, fiction, 'true-crime', serial and series, 'gum-shoe' and modern day detectives and forensics, local Appalachian authors, etc. We have a vast array of literature to choose from and since the club's development in May, 2012, it has been quite rewarding. This is the only mystery/thriller club within 2 hours of this mountain area, the next known clubs of this type being in Atlanta and Winston-Salem. Our founder and facilitator is RhondaKay Brigman, a native NC gal who lives in the N.E. GA mountain town of Blairsville. 

Come join us anytime you are in the tri-state area of GA/NC/TN. We look forward to guests and our current membership is still open. After our cap has been reached, we will be going to a waiting list, as others have done. Guest Speakers and group outings may randomly occur. We will be having a Christmas Party in December and we just attended the Peacock Playhouse in Hayesville, NC for the mystery/thriller play, "House On The Cliff." Fun was had by all! Perhaps, we will be seeing you soon!
