Hello-Mary from SLC Utah-
Our libraries here do not have Mama Day-Gloria Naylors book for next month…
I will be looking forward to next selection I can obtain at library-So enjoy this club.
The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store by James McBride
Is a wonderful book. Interesting people and times showing lives well lived.
The platform I like a lot is LIBBY. I have entered 3 library cards and read as well as listen to audiobooks. It’s especially helpful when I have a long drive.
I’m currently reading Markus Zukas the Bridge of Clay and enjoyed The Book Thief and I Am The Messenger. Unique in language, imagery with universal characters who all evolve.
