Date Change of Daytime Discussion

The September Daytime Book Discussion has been changed to Wednesday, Sept. 21. at 1:30 in the library.

Time and Again by Jack Finney

Because it was difficult to get multiple copies of Cutting for Stone the group decided to read Time and Again for our September meeting. Ellen recommended this book and it is one of my favorites.

Ruby's Spoon by Anna Lawrence Pietroni

The dialect used in the book about a small town in the English midlands made the reading difficult for many in the group. I found some interesting information about the author and her book searching the Web.

Here is the author introducing her book in a small midland town. This video really brings Cradle Cross to life.

Ms. Pietroni gives a book reading at the Harvard Book Store. This is a long video but gives the reader a lot of insight into the author and the process of writing her book.
