April 2022 - 22nd Anniversary

 

For our 22nd Anniversary, the 263rd book, we will be reading The Music of Bees, by Eileen Garvin. This is the THIRD book we have read with Bees in the title. 

In April 2002 we discussed Bee Season by Myra Goldberg -- NOTE:  that was TWENTY YEARS AGO!!

In November 2003 we discussed The Secret Life of Bees, by Sue Monk Kidd. 

The Music of Bees was Eileen Garvin's first book. A quick plot synopsis:  "Following three lonely strangers in a rural Oregon town, each working through grief and life's curveballs, who are brought together by happenstance on a local honeybee farm where they find surprising friendship, healing--and maybe even a second chance--just when they least expect it"--

Donna will be our hostess, Mae will bring the book selections, and Fran will facilitate our discussion. 

Happy Anniversary!!

March 2022

 This month, we will be reading Next Year in Havana by Chanel Cleeton.  There are copies in the library in all formats - book, 3-book, audio.  The description begins as "After the death of her beloved grandmother, a Cuban-American woman travels to Havana, where she discovers the roots of her identity--and unearths a family secret hidden since the revolution ... Havana, 1958. "  

This book was published in 2018 - 382 pages. 

We plan to meet in person at Fran's house on March 24th.  Denise will lead the discussion, Fran will bring the books. Mae is scheduled to bring some food, but I think Lisa has offered to swap with her for that. 

See y'all there!!
