We met today and shared some recently added titles to the collection:
“Impossible” by Nancy Werlin, “Heir to Sevenwaters” by Juliet Marillier, “Gifted” by Nikita Lalwani, “Kendra” by Coe Booth and “What I Saw and How I Lied” by Judy Blundell which is the 2008 National Book Award winner. It’s a book with something for everyone-a historical setting, romance and mystery. One book clubber highly recommends it as a must-read.
A contender for the March meeting is “Graceling” by Kristin Cashore. A fantasy with a bit of romance and a strong heroine that two other book clubbers highly recommend. Here’s a little blurb: In a world where some people are born with extreme and often-feared skills called Graces, Katsa struggles for redemption from her own horrifying Grace of killing and teams up with another young fighter to save their land from a corrupt king.
Our next discussion is on Monday, February 9. The book is “The Astonishing Adventures of Fan Boy and Goth Girl” by Barry Lyga. Copies are all spoken for at this time, so please return it as soon as you can for the next book clubber.
Barry Lyga’s other books Boy Toy and Hero Type also take place at South Brook High School. Check out his website.
