The last post took us up to March. From there:
April: "North Woods" by Daniel Mason
May: "The Friend" by Sigrid Nunez
June: Postponed due to protests
July: "Solito" by Javier Zamora
August: "Psalm for the Wild-Built" by Becky Chambers
And into the future:
September: "The Nightingale" by Kristin Hannah
October: "James" by Percival Everett
So our September book was "Telephone." AM had ordered all the versions of "Telephone" and distributed them randomly but our wily crew figured out the twist so no surprises were revealed.
October and November were "Pachinko" by Min Jin Lee. It is almost 500 pages so we allowed two months.
December's book was "Long Island" by Colm Toibin, a follow up to "Brooklyn. It was well received by all except me but maybe I'm just cranky. The meeting had been delayed a week due to crazy weather that actually triggered a tornado watch. Maybe that's why I was so cranky.
January's book was "Goodnight Tokyo" by Atsuhiro Yoshida. Charming story but be sure to take notes on the many characters to keep them straight.
Frebruary's book was "Creation Lake" by Rachel Kushner. It got seven thumbs up.
March will be "Emma" by Jane Austen. Tony had suggested we turn to the classics for a change and this title was voted in.
