What could be more comfortable than a shaded veranda on a summery afternoon? Lynda's outdoor room with a garden view was a wonderful location for our book club. Thank you for hosting, Lynda. It was such a pleasant afternoon!
We took the opportunity to make a few decisions. We'll meet on Wednesday, July 13 at 1 pm in Jo's backyard. This is a change of location. The book for this afternoon is Dear Mrs. Bird by A.J. Pierce.
August's book is Instructions for a Heatwave by Maggie O'Farrell. We can expect to find this a little more complex than the previous books. Are we ready? The date is Wednesday August 24th and we'll be in Jane's backyard. Again this is a new choice of location.
We decided to pencil in Jan as hostess for September 22nd. The book stays the same, The Lincoln Highway by Amor Towles. *Update: It looks like we will move September's book club to Wednesday, September 21st instead of the 22nd. Let's confirm when we are together again.*
Books we mentioned:
- Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel
- The Candy House by Jennifer Egan
- The Things We Cannot Say by Kelly Rimmer
- Instructions for a Heatwave by Maggie O'Farrell
- What Strange Paradise by Omar el Akkad
- Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro
Here is Kazuo Ishiguro with some interesting ideas.
