Talk About a Good Book: October 26th meeting

October 26th meeting

At our meeting on October 26th, we had wonderful attendance with thirteen members present. In addition to discussing I am Having So much Fun Here Without You by Courtney Maum, we also did some lightning talks to help us select titles for 2016.

Overall, the Maum book was not one of our favorites but we had a good discussion about the characters, marriage and art. Our refreshments were apple slices with caramel and pimento cheese dip and crackers.

The lightning talks were on half of our list of potential titles for fiction and non-fiction. So far, we have chosen:
My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry by Fredrik Backman (fiction)
All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doeer (fiction)
The Martian by Andy Weir (fiction)
Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng (fiction)
Immortal Life Of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot (non-fiction)
Dead Wake: The Last Crossing of the Lusitania by Erik Larson (non-fiction)

Thanks to everyone who helped by voting! We'll pick the rest of the titles at our November 23rd meeting.
