Catching up and moving forward

The book for July was "Every Day Is for the Thief" by Teju Cole. Not only was every member present but five out of seven had finished the book! We are checking the record books but this may be a first. The consensus? An excellent read of the right length (hence the high completion rate) but more a travel piece or memoir than a novel.

The book for August is "Family Life" by Akhil Sharma.

September's book is "Boy, Snow, Bird" by Helen Oyeyemi.

And looking ahead all the way to October, "Ashes in My Mouth, Sand in My Shoes" by Per Petterson.

Check out those library books, fire up those Kindles and start reading.
