Read & Run on the Road: Book Club Run of Creatures of Passage

Update 10/17/15: POSTPONED! Please check www.chelseygrassfield.com in the spring for an update on the rescheduled event. If you have any questions, reach out to me at chelseygrassfield@gmail.com

On this 6.2 mile, easy-paced book club run, we'll envision 1970s Anacostia as we run the same streets Nephthys's haunted Plymouth ferried troubled passengers through.

This story revolves around Nephthys, who drives anyone in need all over Anacostia; Amber Kinwell, whose dreams accurately predict death; and Dash, who is too young to understand the danger he’s in. (Please be advised this book deals with child sexual abuse.)

On the route for this Read & Run on the Road event, created and led by me (Chelsey Stone), we’ll stop at several different locations to visit the significant places throughout the story.

(P.S. I'd like to eliminate fees for you and me, so if you happen to mosey on over to my webpage above, there's info on how to venmo and register via google forms.)

PREPARE: As this event is a book club run, it focuses on the plot, characters, and story. Attendees are strongly encouraged to read the book ahead of time to have the best experience. There is runner participation in the stops and opportunities for discussion, thoughts, and questions—similar to a traditional book club.

Physical and digital copies of the book are available at the DC Public Library. Copies of the book will be available for purchase and author signature at Busboys and Poets.

INCLEMENT WEATHER PLAN: If weather creates unsafe conditions, we will hold the discussion at Busboys and Poets (Anacostia location) at 11:00 a.m. I will inform you no later than Sunday, October 19 by 7 a.m. if an alternate event will take place.
