Our new selections for February, March and April were chosen at our last meeting.
February's selection Getting Rid of Matthew by Jane Fallon sounds like a quick and fun read. This book may not be your typical Valentines Day reading choice "but the surprising and rewarding treat is a bright, grown-up story of two women who discover friendship and trust in one another" Publishers Weekly.
Our next two choices are The Glass Castle a chilling, childhood memoir by Jeannette Walls and The Wednesday Letters by Jason Wright . The Glass Castle has been compared to the popular memoir Angela's Ashes as a story that should be profoundly sad, but instead, is uplifting and heartwarming. The Wednesday Letters seems to be the little book that could, initially published in a run of only 50,000 books by a small publishing company, it is already in its second printing.
The voting was very close with The Road by Cormac McCarthy just one vote short of being selected.
The books are available from both Amazon and the Carnegie Library. In fact, The Glass Castle is another Book Club To Go selection so we will request the book closer to March or April.
Remember ordering several books at a time from Amazon will qualify for free shipping.
