Eight ladies gathered Wednesday, Nov. 6, at the Royal Scoop to discuss the book Lightning Strike: A novel by William Kent Krueger. A lively discussion was held over lunch and/or ice cream. The group gathers the first Wednesday of each month at 1 p.m. All are welcome to join us; the only requirements are to enjoy reading and discussing what you have read with others.
The Dec. 4 selection is the novel The Midnight Library by Matt Haig. This book is the winner of the Goodreads Choice Award for Fiction and a Good Morning America Book Club Pick. It is described by the Washington Post as a “feel-good book guaranteed to lift your spirits”.
The premise of the book is that “Somewhere out beyond the edge of the universe there is a library that contains an infinite number of books, each one the story of another reality. One tells the story of your life as it is, along with another book for the other life you could have lived if you had made a different choice at any point in your life…” Then the question is: “Would any of these other lives truly be better?”
If you are intrigued by this idea and would like to be part of the discussion, you may get a copy of the book from Susan Atkinson before and after church. If you have questions, text her at 239-405-9078. This book, like most of the books the group has read, is part of a book club kit from the Bonita Springs Library. Happy reading!
