  • Tombs & Tomes Book Club January (In Person)

    Historic Congressional Cemetery 1801 E Street, Southeast, Washington, DC, United States

Our book selections have no rhyme and reason; however, our choices tend to stray towards the macabre, as is natural for a cemetery book club. Our very first meeting was in September 2013 and we chose to read Stiff, by Mary Roach (pictured here with Doug Graves, Congressional Cemetery's mascot and NOT a real skeleton!).
