Hi everyone, in October, the first Friday  of the month is also the first day of the month!

So, our next book club meeting is early in the month! It will be  next Friday, October 8 from 3:00 – 4:00 p.m. in the Conference Room at the library.

If you’d like to join us remotely, via Zoom, please let me know by Thursday, October 7.

Our October read is The Unkindness of Ravens: A Greer Hogan Mystery by M. E. Hilliard. (336 pages) (The title is avilable as a print book through StarCat and as an instant checkout eBook & audiobook through Hoopla.)

If you can’t find a copy of the book; let me know and I will mail you one this week.

On an upcoming reading note,  I originally selected books for November and December that both non-fiction titles – and I wonder if we should change one of them so it is fiction?

The Book Club Reading List for November & December (as of right now) is:

November 12: The Brilliant Abyss: Exploring the Majestic Hidden Life of the Deep Ocean, and the Looming Threat That Imperils It by Helen Scales. (288 pages)

(Two circulating print copies of the book & available as Hoopla instant checkout eBook & audiobook)

&

December 10: Susan, Linda, Nina & Cokie: The Extraordinary Story of the Founding Mothers of NPR by Lisa Napoli. (288 pages)

(Three circulating print copies of the book & available as a Hoopla instant checkout eBook)

Both non-fiction titles are reasonably short and I’m happy to leave the reading list as it is. However, as we don’t usually read non-fiction books two months in a row; and in keeping with our discussion at the last book club gathering; regarding selecting future reading titles that there are many copies of available as print books through StarCat; I thought I’d ask!

You can contact me via email: reimerl@stls.org

And if I don’t hear from anyone, I’ll assume we’re all good with reading the titles already selected for November & December.

And I’ll select titles for the next session that are complimented by having many copies available as print books to request through StarCat, since that format seems to be our collective favorite.

I should have the reading schedule for the first half of 2022 ready soon and will send it out via email and the blog.

Have a great day everyone,

Linda
