At our book group meeting on 11/25/24, we discussed The Firekeeper's Daughter by Angeline Boulley. Even though this is a YA book, the group enjoyed it and rated it very favorably. Boulley descriptions of Objewa culture and her sensitive portrayal of difficult subjects were some of the factors that were appreciated. One member even rated it her highest rating of the year!

At the December 9th meeting, we will discuss the titles we liked in 2024 and reveal the titles chosen for 2025. The meeting is at 3pm in the large meeting room. If you'd like, you can bring a starter or dessert, but even if you don't, we'd love to see you!

At our October 28th meeting, we discussed The Wager by David Grann. Even though this book is not very long, there is a lot of information packed into it. It was a bit difficult to follow at times due to the number of ships and events. We felt it would have been helpful to have a listing of statistics about each ship in the squadron, their officers and crew, etc. However, many members felt they gained a better understanding of the perils and hardships of sailors in this era.

Our next meeting will be Monday, November 25th at 3pm at the LME Library. Copies of the book, The Firekeeper's Daughter by Angeline Boulley, are available for pickup at the front desk. Discussion sheets can also be picked up or are available here.
