@BookBabe always says things well:

Just got a tornado warning as we‘re discussing this book with the #HUB Bookclub...might have to wrap up early. 😱🌪 Interesting discussion though! Lots of grumpiness about unlikeable characters. Have you read it? Did you enjoy it?

#LitsyLovesLibraries

CoffeeNBooks One of my favorite books! I've read it several times, and I teach it in my AP Literature class. 6y
BookDame I‘m about to re-read it. I bought the uncensored version that wasn‘t published until a few years ago, and I intend to compare it with the censored copy. And by about to start reading it, I mean next week. To me, it was very enjoyable, we need to remember the time it was written and what it meant for that time period. Not to mention all the suffering and shunning Wilde received afterwards. 6y
Leftcoastzen We have flooding here in Az from hurricane turned tropical depression, just a little water in the garage so I‘m lucky.You should not even have tornadoes in PA and OH. 6y
MicheleinPhilly This weather is NUTTY. Stay safe you two! @BookBabe 6y
Peddler410 It‘s on my list of books to read. 6y

TheBookAddict Be safe out there! Haven‘t read the book, but it is on my TBR. 6y
saresmoore Stay safe! I loved this, maybe especially the unlikeable characters. 🙃 6y
Velvetfur Oh gosh I read this sooooo long ago that I can't remember it now! I know I loved it though.... I hope you stay safe in the tornado too x 6y

Soubhiville Oh gosh, be careful! I did read this and enjoyed it, but I certainly agree that the characters are pretty unlikable! 6y

While working on my display, I got tapped on the shoulder. It was Natalie! She attended Tuesday night's inaugural #HUB book club meeting at the library 😁. She said that she had to come to the library to tell me that in all the book clubs she's attended in her 93 years (in 3 states), she never had a better time than on Tuesday. I asked her if I could get that on record for the powers that be 😆👏🏻. She's an amazing lady! #LitsyLovesLibraries

CouronneDhiver Awesome! 😁 7y

Snapshot from a couple nights ago at the inaugural meeting of a brand-new book club @MrBook is running at our library branch w/ 2 other colleagues: @leeloo13 and @sochya ! @Molly_the_mezzo and I made sure not to miss it. ??? 11 people discussed their views and feelings about "Gilead". All will be back for upcoming meetings. We had a wonderful 93-year-old in attendance, and she was magnificent! ❤️#LitsyLovesLibraries #HUB

BkClubCare I love that book. I love Marilynne Robinson. 7y
Mdargusch Sounds like a fun book club! 7y
AshleyHoss820 I really enjoyed Housekeeping. Would this be a go? 7y
BookBabe @AshleyHoss820 I don‘t think I can answer that! This is the only book of hers I‘ve ever read. I didn‘t enjoy it all that much. But that may be because of certain themes that I would dislike in any book. Her writing is beautiful. Very poetic. This is a book that makes you ruminate. 7y
AshleyHoss820 @BookBabe I appreciate that! Some books are like that. Housekeeping was sad but still a lovely book. I feel like my Mom read Gilead and didn‘t care for it too much either. Thank you! 😊 7y

Tonight was the inaugural meeting of a brand-new book club I'm running at my library branch w/ 2 other colleagues: @leeloo13 and @sochya ! It was a smashing success in large measure to @BookBabe @Molly_the_mezzo attending ?????????! 11 people discussed their different views and feelings about "Gilead". All will be back for upcoming meetings. We had a wonderful 93-year-old in attendance, and she was magnificent! #LitsyLovesLibraries #HUB

ferskner Is there a theme to the book club? 7y
Richryan52 @MrBook Where do you meet? 7y
MrBook @ferskner No, just librarian-curated monthly selections or themes 😊. 2 months a book, 1 month a theme, 2 months a book, 1 month a theme. @Richryan52 The main branch of my library in one of our meeting rooms. (Stroudsburg, PA) 7y
Richryan52 @mrbook if you ever read one of mine, I‘ll make the trip 7y
MrBook Wow! That's very gracious of you, @Richryan52 ! Will keep in mind. 7y
