Summer dreaming..... no! It's real! We've had two interesting books, two months in a row with two robust turnouts and last but not least.....two great discussions!
June - Julie's:
Julie brilliantly enhanced our evening with a set of questions. After indulging at the dining room table, we settled into the living room to delve into our discussion, each clutching our gifted question. Able to examine Luis Alberto Urrea's "House of Broken Angels" with gusto, thanks to the prompting questions, we all thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated the discussion.
Julie's suggestions for an upcoming read:
"Short Nights of the Shadow Catcher" Timothy Egan
"The Alice Network" Kate Quinn
"The Library Book" Susan Orlean
"The Island of Sea Women" Lisa See *chosen
July - Sue's:
Again being indulged, this time by Sue, we gathered around her beautifully appointed table, thankfully not themed to our book! Karin Slaughter's "Pieces of Her" incited much debate with its layers and layers of .... well... unbelievable plot, gruesome detail and unrelatable characters....yet we agreed it was a compulsive read that we had fun examining. Netflix, here it comes.
Sue's suggestions for a future bookclub read:
"City of Girls" Elizabeth Gilbert *chosen
"Summer of '69" Elin Hilenbrand
"Varina" Charles Fazier
"The Flight Girls" Noelle Salazar
Up next: Lisa See's "The Island of Sea Women: A Novel"
Happy reading,
LK
