September 2025

 This month, we will be reading The Museum of Ordinary People, by Mike Gayle. Kirkus says,"In this 'pure, unadulterated feel-good' and warmhearted novel, an old set of encyclopedias leads a young woman to a curious museum and one profoundly moving lesson: that every life is an extraordinary life. " 

The Libby description adds "Inspired by an abandoned box of mementos, The Museum of Ordinary People is a poignant novel about memory and loss, the things we leave behind, and the future we create for ourselves."

There are still copies available on library shelves in the Contra Costa County Library System. 

We will meet on the Fourth Friday - September 26, back at Sheila's house for a light dinner. Fran will lead the discussion from the head of the table.  Kim has selected books from which to choose October books - Sheila will present those books for Kim.
