Welcome to Maria, we were glad you were able to join us!<\/p>\n<p>Don borrowed Ross&#8217;s &#8220;favorite book of all time,&#8221; The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto by Mitch Albom.\u00a0 He is almost finished, only 20 pages left!\u00a0 I can&#8217;t wait to hear what he thinks when it all connects at the end.\u00a0 He also brought in a book he read a while back called The Harrad Experiment by Robert H. Rimmer.\u00a0 He wondered if it is too &#8220;racy&#8221; for book club, so I&#8217;ll be looking forward to checking it out this month.<\/p>\n<p>I enjoyed reading through Jaye&#8217;s thesis book Contagious, Why Things Catch On.\u00a0 I also was excited to read a newly published book, The 7 1\/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton.\u00a0 I can&#8217;t wait for Jaye to read it this month so she can help my understand what I read. I also brought in a book by a local author, A Knife in the Fog, by Bradley Harper.\u00a0 Don is borrowing that this month.<\/p>\n<p>Jaye, after reading Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik, read her first book, Uprooted. Uprooted, one of my favorite books, is a fantasy with a lot of fairy tale elements. Maria is going to borrow it this month. She also read Shana&#8217;s pick from last month, Into the Water by Paula Hawkins. She also really enjoyed The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, by Taylor Jenkins Reid.<\/p>\n<p>Shana read Jaye&#8217;s pick from last month, Fashion Victim by Amina Akhtar. This month Ashley is borrowing it. She also read a local book, Hampton&#8217;s Haunted Houses.<\/p>\n<p>Maria read Tuesday&#8217;s with Morrie by Mitch Album.\u00a0 She enjoyed the uplifting positive message about life.<\/p>\n<p>Matt finished Sons of Cain: A History of Serial Killers by Peter Vronsky. It was a chronology of serial killers through human history.\u00a0 Matt enjoyed the second half of the book and the more modern methods of exploring behavior from a psychological perspective.<\/p>\n<p>Christiana read Shana&#8217;s pick from last month, Prisoner of Night and Fog, by Anne Blackman.<\/p>\n<p>Ashley shared the first in a YA fantasy series, Labyrinth Lost by Zoraida Cordova<\/p>\n<p>Ross discussed books by local authors she has met this year: Pamela Covington&#8217;s book A Day at the Fare and Something Better by Melissa Mattie.\u00a0 Jaye is borrowing Something Better this month.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks again for everyone taking the time to come out and share books with us last night.\u00a0 It was great to see everyone!\u00a0 Looking forward to next time December 6th!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks again for another great night at book club last night.
