May 23 - Bookish Life of Nina Hill
At our April 25th meeting, we discussed The Library Book by Susan Orlean. Most enjoyed the book, but all agreed it would have been better if it had a more linear timeline. Overall though, everyone felt the book gave amazing details about libraries and librarians and all felt they learned something.
Our next book group meeting will be a week earlier due to the Memorial Day holiday. We will be meeting on Monday, May 23rd at 3pm in the large meeting room. Our book is the Bookish Life of Nina Hill by Abbi Waxman. Copies of the books are available for pickup at the library in regular print, large print and audio. In addition, the book can be read in ebook format. The discussion sheet is also available for pickup or can be accessed online.Summary of the Bookish Life of Nina Hill (provided by the publisher): "Nina Hill's life may not seem like much, but for a person battling anxiety, it's more than enough. She enjoys her job at a bookstore and her small circle of friends. Until a visit from a lawyer changes everything... The father that Nina never knew existed has died, leaving behind an enormous extended family. Nina now has innumerable sisters, brothers, nieces, nephews, and cousins all living within a twenty-mile radius--some welcoming and some not so welcoming, but all demanding her attention. If that's not enough, Nina's talent for worrying is taking the thrill out of falling in love. Tom, a fellow trivia nerd--who's totally into her--is obviously too good to be true. Everything is moving too fast for Nina. Caught in a whirlwind of new people, emotions and experiences, she feels the need to protect herself. But maybe opening her world--and her heart--is a risk worth taking."
