January 2026

This month, we will be reading House of the Spirits, by Isabel Allende. Our very first book was Daughter of Fortune by Isabel Allende, and we have read four of her books in our 25+ years as a book group. House of the Spirits was her first book, and it has been called "one of the most important and beloved Latin American works of the twentieth century."

This book is 448 pages in length, a little longer than we usually read, but keep in mind that this is a l-o-n-g month for us, with five weeks between our meetings. 

There aren't a lot of copies in the Contra Costa Library (currently 3 of 6 are available), so get your copy now, and give yourself some time to read it. 

Our next meeting is Friday, January 23rd. Sheila will lead the discussion, and Denise will bring our book selections.
