Join us for some lively book discussion and socializing with food and drink!
For November, we are reading two books, as one of them is a young adult book and a very quick read! Our selections are: Wonder, by R.J. Palacio and a nonfiction selection, Wild by Cheryl Strayed. Read one or both!
Please come with questions, thoughts, comments - no formal presentations are necessary! This event is free, but please register online by Monday, November 11th so that we know to expect you! Kindly bring either something savory or sweet - small in quantity - or a drink to share. We hope you are able to join us!
This month's book Descriptions – Amazon.com:
Wonder: August Pullman was born with a facial deformity that, up until now, has prevented him from going to a mainstream school. Starting 5th grade at Beecher Prep, he wants nothing more than to be treated as an ordinary kid but his new classmates can’t get past Auggie’s extraordinary face. WONDER, a #1 New York Times bestseller begins from Auggie’s point of view, but soon switches to include his classmates, his sister, her boyfriend, and others. These perspectives converge in a portrait of one community’s struggle with empathy, compassion, and acceptance.
Wild: A powerful, blazingly honest memoir: the story of an eleven-hundred-mile solo hike that broke down a young woman reeling from catastrophe and built her back up again.
Books can be requested individually from the Library or may be purchased at Books on the Common (on Main Street-15% discount offered for book club selections).

What's Coming Next?: We will not meet in December, so we have selected another two books until we meet again in January! Here is what we will be reading: I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, by Maya Angelou & Little Bee, by Chris Cleave. Enjoy!
