SUMMARY:Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the library for a discussion of December’s book\, All Adults Here by Emma Straub. \nSummary: \n“When Astrid Strick witnesses a school bus accident in the center of town\, it jostles loose a repressed memory from her young parenting days decades earlier. Suddenly\, Astrid realizes she was not quite the parent she thought she’d been to her three\, now-grown children. But to what consequence? \nAstrid’s youngest son is drifting and unfocused\, making parenting mistakes of his own. Her daughter is intentionally pregnant yet struggling to give up her own adolescence. And her eldest seems to measure his adult life according to standards no one else shares. But who gets to decide\, so many years later\, which long-ago lapses were the ones that mattered? Who decides which apologies really count? It might be that only Astrid’s thirteen-year-old granddaughter and her new friend really understand the courage it takes to tell the truth to the people you love the most. \nIn All Adults Here\, Emma Straub’s unique alchemy of wisdom\, humor\, and insight come together in a deeply satisfying story about adult siblings\, aging parents\, high school boyfriends\, middle school mean girls\, the lifelong effects of birth order\, and all the other things that follow us into adulthood\, whether we like them to or not.” (via Goodreads)

SUMMARY:Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the library for a discussion of One By One by Freida McFadden. Let’s see if she lives up to the hype! \nSummary: \n“One by one\, they will get what they deserve… \nA night spent sleeping on dirt and leaves is not how Claire Matchett expected to spend her vacation. \nShe thought this would be a break from the stresses of work and raising her young children. A chance to repair her damaged marriage. A week of hiking and hot tubs with two other couple friends. It sounded like heaven. \nThen Claire’s minivan breaks down on a lonely dirt road. With no cell reception\, the group has no choice but to hike the rest of the way to their hotel. But it turns out the woods aren’t as easy to navigate as they thought. \nHours later\, they are lost. Hopelessly lost. \nAnd as they navigate deeper into the woods\, the members of their party are struck down mysteriously one by one. Has a wild animal been hunting them? Or is the hunter one of them? \nBut as more time passes\, one thing becomes clear: \nOnly one of them will return home alive.” (via Goodreads)

SUMMARY:Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion of February’s book\, The Authenticity Project by Clare Pooley. \nSummary: \n“The story of a solitary green notebook that brings together six strangers and leads to unexpected friendship\, and even love. \nJulian Jessop\, an eccentric\, lonely artist and septuagenarian believes that most people aren’t really honest with each other. But what if they were? And so he writes–in a plain\, green journal–the truth about his own life and leaves it in his local cafe. It’s run by the incredibly tidy and efficient Monica\, who furtively adds her own entry and leaves the book in the wine bar across the street. Before long\, the others who find the green notebook add the truths about their own deepest selves–and soon find each other In Real Life at Monica’s Cafe. \nThe Authenticity Project‘s cast of characters–including Hazard\, the charming addict who makes a vow to get sober; Alice\, the fabulous mommy Instagrammer whose real life is a lot less perfect than it looks online; and their other new friends–is by turns quirky and funny\, heartbreakingly sad and painfully true-to-life. It’s a story about being brave and putting your real self forward–and finding out that it’s not as scary as it seems. In fact\, it looks a lot like happiness. \nThe Authenticity Project is just the tonic for our times that readers are clamoring for–and one they will take to their hearts and read with unabashed pleasure.” (via StoryGraph)

SUMMARY:Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the library for a discussion of March’s book\, Anxious People by Fredrik Backman. \nSummary: \n“Looking at real estate isn’t usually a life-or-death situation\, but an apartment open house becomes just that when a failed bank robber bursts in and takes a group of strangers hostage. The captives include a recently retired couple who relentlessly hunt down fixer-uppers to avoid the painful truth that they can’t fix their own marriage. There’s a wealthy bank director who has been too busy to care about anyone else and a young couple who are about to have their first child but can’t seem to agree on anything\, from where they want to live to how they met in the first place. Add to the mix an eighty-seven-year-old woman who has lived long enough not to be afraid of someone waving a gun in her face\, a flustered but still-ready-to-make-a-deal real estate agent\, and a mystery man who has locked himself in the apartment’s only bathroom\, and you’ve got the worst group of hostages in the world. \nEach of them carries a lifetime of grievances\, hurts\, secrets\, and passions that are ready to boil over. None of them is entirely who they appear to be. And all of them—the bank robber included—desperately crave some sort of rescue. As the authorities and the media surround the premises these reluctant allies will reveal surprising truths about themselves and set in motion a chain of events so unexpected that even they can hardly explain what happens next. \nRich with Fredrik Backman’s ‘pitch-perfect dialogue and an unparalleled understanding of human nature’ (Shelf Awareness)\, Anxious People is an ingeniously constructed story about the enduring power of friendship\, forgiveness\, and hope—the things that save us\, even in the most anxious times.” (via Storygraph)

SUMMARY:Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the library for a discussion of April’s book\, These Silent Woods by Kimi Cunninham Grant. \nSummary: \n“A father and daughter living in the remote Appalachian mountains must reckon with the ghosts of their past in Kimi Cunningham Grant’s These Silent Woods\, a mesmerizing novel of suspense. \nNo electricity\, no family\, no connection to the outside world. \nFor eight years\, Cooper and his young daughter\, Finch\, have lived in isolation in a remote cabin in the northern Appalachian woods. And that’s exactly the way Cooper wants it\, because he’s got a lot to hide. Finch has been raised on the books filling the cabin’s shelves and the beautiful but brutal code of life in the wilderness. But she’s starting to push back against the sheltered life Cooper has created for her—and he’s still haunted by the painful truth of what it took to get them there. \nThe only people who know they exist are a mysterious local hermit named Scotland\, and Cooper’s old friend\, Jake\, who visits each winter to bring them food and supplies. But this year\, Jake doesn’t show up\, setting off an irreversible chain of events that reveals just how precarious their situation really is. Suddenly\, the boundaries of their safe haven have blurred—and when a stranger wanders into their woods\, Finch’s growing obsession with her could put them all in danger. After a shocking disappearance threatens to upend the only life Finch has ever known\, Cooper is forced to decide whether to keep hiding—or finally face the sins of his past. \nVividly atmospheric and masterfully tense\, These Silent Woods is a poignant story of survival\, sacrifice\, and how far a father will go when faced with losing it all.” (via Storygraph)

SUMMARY:Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the library for a discussion of May’s book\, I’m Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy. \nSummary: \n“A heartbreaking and hilarious memoir by iCarly and Sam & Cat star Jennette McCurdy about her struggles as a former child actor—including eating disorders\, addiction\, and a complicated relationship with her overbearing mother—and how she retook control of her life. \nJennette McCurdy was six years old when she had her first acting audition. Her mother’s dream was for her only daughter to become a star\, and Jennette would do anything to make her mother happy. So she went along with what Mom called “calorie restriction\,” eating little and weighing herself five times a day. She endured extensive at-home makeovers while Mom chided\, “Your eyelashes are invisible\, okay? You think Dakota Fanning doesn’t tint hers?” She was even showered by Mom until age sixteen while sharing her diaries\, email\, and all her income. \nIn I’m Glad My Mom Died\, Jennette recounts all this in unflinching detail—just as she chronicles what happens when the dream finally comes true. Cast in a new Nickelodeon series called iCarly\, she is thrust into fame. Though Mom is ecstatic\, emailing fan club moderators and getting on a first-name basis with the paparazzi (“Hi Gale!”)\, Jennette is riddled with anxiety\, shame\, and self-loathing\, which manifest into eating disorders\, addiction\, and a series of unhealthy relationships. \nThese issues only get worse when\, soon after taking the lead in the iCarly spinoff Sam & Cat alongside Ariana Grande\, her mother dies of cancer. Finally\, after discovering therapy and quitting acting\, Jennette embarks on recovery and decides for the first time in her life what she really wants. Told with refreshing candor and dark humor\, I’m Glad My Mom Died is an inspiring story of resilience\, independence\, and the joy of shampooing your own hair.” (via StoryGraph)
