February 2018 Bookclub News



Julie's depiction of upcoming title selection a la Anne Rice




Dear Bookclub,
So sad to  miss any bookclub with the camaraderie, discussion and treats. I knew that this meeting would have Julie's fine teacherly-touch for Margaret Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale", and I was even sadder. Julie reported there was a long discussion about the book, prompted by question strips. Those in attendance were rewarded with apple-blueberry crisp and gelato(!).  In trying to imagine the evening so I could write this blog, I found this scholarly chart to ponder(from Shmoop University) while drinking tea after eating two large cookies. 'Tis not the same!


Aside- check out Shmoop University (Diane, have you heard of them?):

Back to business - Julie's suggestions for an upcoming read:

"Before We Were Yours" Lisa Wingate *chosen
"Little Fires Eveywhere" Celeste Ng
"We Were the Lucky Ones" Georgia Hunter


Up next:
Charmaine Craig's "Miss Burma"





Happy Reading!
