SUMMARY:The NJSOC Book Club… Fall Session
DESCRIPTION:Our FREE  book club is back with a new title for Fall 2026!\n\n\nOur FREE book club is back with a new title for Fall 2026! \nJoin us as we read together Night Magic: Adventures Among Glowworms\, Moon Gardens\, and Other Marvels of the Dark by Leigh Ann Henion. Participants will read at their own pace\, with the opportunity to discuss virtually via the Heylo app. You’ll receive weekly discussion points to ponder that will guide our group conversation. We’ll meet to discuss the book face-to-face on Friday\, October 23rd\, at the School of Conservation from 6:00 to 7:30 pm. This will be our first evening book club meeting and will also include a night hike to complement our reading. \nHigh School students and up are welcome to join. Participants will provide their own copy of the book. We will officially begin reading on Tuesday\, September 8th. Please feel free to register and jump in any time. Participants will receive additional instructions via email (don’t forget to monitor the email address you use to register!). \nAbout Night Magic:\nFrom a New York Times bestselling nature writer comes a celebration of what goes on outside in the dark\, from blooming moon gardens to nocturnal salamanders\, from glowing foxfire and synchronous fireflies that blink in unison like an orchestra of light. \nIn this glorious celebration of the night\, New York Times bestselling nature writer Leigh Ann Henion invites us to leave our well-lit homes\, step outside\, and embrace the dark as a profoundly beautiful part of the world we inhabit. Because no matter where we live\, we are surrounded by animals that rise with the moon\, and blooms that reveal themselves as light fades. Henion explores her home region of Appalachia\, where she attends a synchronous firefly event in Tennessee\, a bat outing in Alabama\, and a moth festival in Ohio. In North Carolina\, she finds forests alight with bioluminescent mushrooms\, neighborhood trees full of screech owls\, and valleys teeming with migratory salamanders. Along the way\, Henion encounters naturalists\, biologists\, primitive-skills experts\, and others who’ve dedicated their lives to cultivating relationships with darkness. \nEvery page of this lyrical book feels like an opportunity to ask: How did I not know about this before? For example\, we learn that it can take hours\, not minutes\, for human eyes to reach full night vision capacity. And that there are thousands of firefly species on earth\, many with flash patterns as unique as fingerprints. In an age of increasing artificial light\, Night Magic focuses on the amazing biodiversity that still surrounds us after sunset. We do not need to stargaze into the distant cosmos or dive into the depths of oceans to find awe in the dark. There are dazzling wonders in our own backyards. And readers of World of Wonders\, Entangled Life\, and The Hidden Life of Trees will discover joy in Night Magic.
