You may have noticed that the club name keeps changing! First we decided to drop "boadacious" as it seemed to relate to Queen Boadicea and exclude the males in our club. Next to go was "bookies." Not sure why on that one, although I'm sure my 76-year-old mother is relieved that her daughter is not associated with anything that could be construed as gambling! (We don't, by the way, unless you count hazarding an opinion as risky.) Anyway, we are now the Beaufort Book Club.
Another change: While we are still reading Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert for April 19, the May 17 selection has changed to The Winter of Our Discontent by John Steinbeck. Beaufort Branch has one copy, Hilton Head Branch has 3 copies, and Bluffton has one regular print and one large print copy.
Books being considered for later meetings are:
The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson (summer)
The Bridge by Doug Marlette
The Awakening by Kate Chopin
The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion
Atonement by Ian McEwen
One Thousand White Women by Jim Fergus
The Bastard of Istanbulby Elif Shafak
anything by John Irving
Give this some thought and make your preferences known. Happy Reading!
