Just go to https://www.eventbrite.com/e/miss-kopp-investigates-book-launch-registration-164546371627?mc_cid=99e8358eac&mc_eid=93e536d0a8 to register.

January 27 - Girl Waits With Gun

At our January 27th meeting, we skyped with Amy Stewart.  We were very fortunate to be able to speak directly with the author of our January pick, Girl Waits With Gun.  It was interesting to ask her about her characters, writing process, some of her favorite authors, and things she edited out of the book.  Thank you Amy Stewart!  

We also discussed what aspects of life in 1914 we wish had survived, but we had a really hard time recommending anything.  (There are a lot of things we are glad are much improved principally women's rights, modern conveniences, end of child labor, and OSHA laws!) We finally decided that public transportation was better then and people were more self sufficient (but that came at a high price).  For dessert we had Apple Crumb Tart with Cinnamon Cream and fresh fruit. Overall, we greatly enjoyed this meeting and the book.  Many of us will be reading the rest of the series, and we'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys historical fiction.

Last meeting of 2019

We had the last book group meeting of 2019 on Monday, December 9th at 3pm.  We had great weather so attendance was good!  Members brought some wonderful goodies and we talked about some of our favorite book club books from the past and from 2019.  Favorites included:




Several books that we did not read in book group were also discussed.  These included:
Alice Network

Our next book club meeting will be Monday, January 27th at 3pm in the library's large meeting room.  We will be reading Girl Waits With Gun by Amy Stewart and we'll be visiting with the author via Skype!  Copies of the book can be picked up at the LME Library circulation desk.  Discussion sheets are also available for pickup or can be accessed online.
