Our first reader picked up Buckeye
by Patrick Ryan, which has been generating a lot of interest as a Read with Jenna book club pick. Set in
small town Ohio during and following World War II, this is a story of love and
secrets in middle America. Highly recommended!
One of our young readers who
attends Nevermore with a parent during school breaks read The Call of the
Wild by Jack London. Buck, the canine main character, reminded our reader
of their dog Millie. Next up by the same author: To Build a Fire.
A non-fiction title that our
book club member summarized as “greed is ruining the world” was How the
World Ran Out of Everything: Inside the Global Supply Chain by Peter S.
Goodman. The author describes how companies will do absolutely anything to get
results and to make profit, regardless of the fallout.
Another reader picked up The
Women by Kristin Hannah. This reader noted that the second part of the
book, when Frances “Frankie” McGrath returns to the United States, felt like an
entirely different book from her Vietnam combat nursing experience.
Two books by Melissa Daley, Molly
and the Cat Café and Christmas at the Cat Café were called light,
fun reads, appropriate to the holiday season. (We can’t argue, as we like cat
books around here.)
