April 2018 Bookclub News


my dream dog to thwart visitors (MOCA Chicago)




Dear Bookclub,
A strangeness ensued upon my arrival for our much anticipated April meeting at Madeiras, to discuss "Little Fires Everywhere".  As a realization that someone had been in my home to 'adjust' the family room big screen, panic set in and I had to return to the scene. No explanation still for the odd happening (don't even ask about the strange fork found at my feet in the driver's side of my car). A great discussion of Celeste Ng's novel must still be had - please! Apologies for the interruption.

It was decided to move our May meeting (see below) but our next gathering will be to lunch with Ginger(!) on April 24, 12:30, Vintanna.


Considered for a future read from Val:

"The Atlas of Forgotten Places" Jenny D. Williams *chosen
"Pachinko" Min Jin Lee
"Being Mortal" Atul Gawande
"A Spy in Canaan, My Secret Life as a Jewish-American Businessman Spying for Israel in Arab Lands" Howard Schack

Our next meeting will be May 24 at Lori Kimball's for an evening with Sue Meissner discussing her latest book, "As Bright As Heaven".



Happy reading!
