September 2017 Bookclub News



 "To read without reflecting is like eating without digesting."  Edmund Burke

 

"Origami Wolf" by Todd Gilloon

 

Dear Bookclub,
Wanting to read a bit of "History of Wolves" before writing our blog, I ended up reading the whole thing, trying to find a hook for this entry. Not easily categorized but being a tantalizing mash-up, Fridlund's novel pokes your heart and mind with images, characters and events that will be marvelous to discuss. I don't want to say much for fear of any revealing; the book itself is one big slow reveal. Once you start to read, you will be 'hooked'.

"Mystery Wolves" by Walt Barker






Trudy's suggestions for an upcoming selection:

"What She Ate" by Laura Shapiro

"Before We Were Yours" by Lisa Wingate

"Endurance" by Alfred Lansing

Please research and be ready to vote next week.

Finally, I came across a lovely article about Elizabeth Strout - well lovely sounds like lace and tea and really this is more black linen and saltines. A great piece.

Happy reading,
