Book Discussion Groups

Hi everyone,
I know you have not heard from in awhile. After I retired I wanted to belong to book discussion. One of my friends had belonged for a book club for thirty years. Believe or not, I am now the Queen of Book club discussion groups. I belong to three book clubs. Yes, three! I love reading! My advice, be careful for what you wish for. Last summer in 2009 I joined a nearby library’s book club. Then, this summer a Jane Austen book club started at the same library. I joined that one. I liked the sound of it. It sounded quite literary. I like it. Then, the members of the Hopatcong’s Women’s Club wanted to start a book club. I helped start it. We have our meetings in our branch library. Truthfully, I do enjoy the book discussion groups. For me it is an extension of being a librarian.
If you have a group of people that would want to start a book discussion, type in Goggle
How to start a book discussion group. You will have so many hits. Everyone from Orpah to www.readinggroupguides.com/roundtable/start.asp
Also join one at your public library or local book store. It is a lot of fun to be with other people
who love or like to read. You have a chance to discuss points that your members want to. Also different people bring different opinion to the table.


Here is information for our future selections.
We have a great book club that meets at the Library every month.
It is on the second Monday of the month from 10:00 to 11:30. New members to the group are encouraged to join us. If you have any questions, call Linda at my phone number. Please also join the public library to hold or save books.

Our March book selection is:
Dallas, Sandra, The Persian Pickle Club.
It is the 1930’s hard times have hit Harveyville, Kansas, where the crops are burning up, and there’s not a job to found. For Queenie Bean, a young farm wife, a highlight of each week is gathering of the Persian Pickle Club, a group of local ladies dedicated to improving their minds, exchanging gossip and putting their quilting skills to good use.

Our April book selection
Wallace, Nicole, 18 Acres, a description used by political insiders when referring to the White House Complex, follows the first female President of the United States, Charlotte Kramer and her staff as they take on dangerous threats from abroad and within her very own cabinet.

Our May book selection
Steele, Danielle, Granny Dan, is about the magic of history. The author reminds us how little we know of those who came before us--and how, if we could only glimpse into their early lives and see who they once were, There is so much we could understand and learn.
