For the month of December, the HSL Book Group will discuss The Stupidest Angel: A Heartwarming Tale of Christmas Terror by Christopher Moore.

In this irreverent tale by popular humor writer Christopher Moore, seven-year-old Josh is sure he saw Santa take a shovel to the head and prays for Santa to come back from the dead. Archangel Raziel, who unfortunately doesn’t have the brightest halo in the bunch, botches his attempt to answer Josh’s prayers, sending the residents of Pine Cove, California headlong into Christmas chaos, culminating in the most hilarious and horrifying holiday party the town has ever seen.

The HSL Book Group meets on the third Thursday of each month at 6:30 p.m. in the Language, Literature, and History Section. New members are always welcome. No registration necessary. Inquiries about the Hawaii State Library Book Group can be directed to hslbookgroup@gmail.com or (808) 586-3499.
