Accessing the book club information is so cumbersome. There must be a better method.
What is the book selected for September? Why can’t I readily find that info anywhere?
Finished the book yesterday. Enjoyed it very much considering it is a youth oriented read. I appreciated the research on the historical aspects for the time period.
I’m curious this is catalogued as a Young Adult book, why is it a selection for Senior Planet members?
Hi Victoria! The Downstairs Girl was suggested by a fellow book club member and received the highest number of votes in our most recent poll!
Just received book yesterday so have some catching up to do. Although for ‘young adults’, this young at heart senior is enjoying it. Looking forward to discussion on the 31st.
Hi everyone! Had my surgery on 8/15 and home reading the Downstairs Girl. Yes, it is a young adult book however it held my interest to the very end. So many different personalities. It reminded me of the have and the have nots. Sometimes it’s just good to be a decent human begin. Sometimes when you feel those who are below you–are the very ones who can help you when you get to know them. Can’t wait to see you guys on the 31st.
Hi Saundra! Glad to hear your surgery went well. We appreciate you sharing your thoughts! Looking forward to the Zoom discussion next week!
