Book Clubs

Are you looking for a summer romance?  Join Crosby Book Club on Friday, July 28, at 2 pm as we discuss The Last Letter from Your Lover, by Jojo Moyes.  In this 2011 Romantic Novel of the Year, Jennifer Stirling finds an impassioned letter, signed "B", asking her to leave her husband.  Because of injuries suffered in a car accident though, she cannot recall the relationship, and has no idea who "B." is.  Decades later, a young woman finds the same letter in a newspaper archive, and becomes determined to find out if the lovers had a happy ending.

Join us as our teen book club continues on Tuesday, July 18 at 4:00 pm. Discuss the intricacies of the narrative. Share in the interplay of literary minds. Work together to select more great books for next time.

This month's book will be The Giver by Lois Lowry

Title to be discussed: Home game : an accidental guide to fatherhood by Michael Lewis.  Date of meeting: July 11, 6:30 p.m.  Summary: "When he became a father, Michael Lewis found himself expected to feel things that he didn't feel, and to do things that he couldn't see the point of doing. At first this made him feel guilty, until he realized that all around him fathers were pretending to do one thing, to feel one way, when in fact they felt and did all sorts of things, then engaged in what amounted to an extended cover-up. Lewis decided to keep a written record of what actually happened immediately after the birth of each of his three children. This book is that record. But it may also be the funniest, most unsparing account of ordinary daily household life ever recorded from the point of view of the man inside. The remarkable thing about this story isn't that Lewis is so unusual--it's that he is so typical."

Our book discussion this month takes place on Tuesday, June 27 at 2 p.m. We are reading Truth Be Told by Hank Phillippi Ryan. Stop by and pick up a copy!
