Past Books

January 2020 was Flight Girls.  We had a most interesting conversation branching from Donna's book Flight Girls, and getting into "Me too", the "M.R.S" degree, and of course the actual book. A few of us read Fly Girls instead of or in addition to Flight Girls, and that wasn't entirely a bad thing since one book just preceded the other in time. Thank you for hosting us, Donna.  Sorry Ruth didn't post the link and picture so we all could see the book.

FEBRUARY 2020.  Bookenders, A Land Remembered is Nancy's book for February.  As you can see, MIHS is hosting a talk by the author's son, about his father and his books. Donna pointed out that this might interest our book club. Susie agreed and planned to be there. Again, Ruth apologizes for not posting sooner.  The place was so packed Ruth couldn't see the other Book Ender at this wonderful presentation. There are paper books, ebooks and CDs all available at the library.


Feb. 24 - A Land Remembered by Patrick Smith, hosted by Nancy

We don't know who volunteered for Where the Crawdad's Sing so September's book is being hosted by Karen and it will be The Silent Patient.

There is a possibility that the December book exchange may include a discussion of Crawdad if Lael
