Neighborhood Book Club

Our first Neighborhood Book Club of the season met at my house. We discussed The Girl Who Stopped Swimming by Joshilyn Jackson. I thought that it was an average story, but it did not grab me because I thought the character development was a little shallow. We have a core group of members that love reading and discussing, so we take turns facilitating the discussion. It was a chilly rainy evening so we snacked on hot tea and my special homemade Biscotti. We meet September through May on the second Monday of the Month. Forthcoming book discussions include:

• Ahab's Wife by Sena Jeter Naslund
• Island of Lost Girls by Jennifer McMahon
• Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult
• I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou
• Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards
