August Meeting
We had a great meeting on July 2nd. We are currently reading Night for our August meeting which will be held on August 6th at the Calhoun County Library at 6:00pm. We chose My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult for the following month.
At our August meeting, we will be selecting the next book. Please bring your recommendation of a Mystery!!!!
Unfortunately, I will not be able to make it to the next meeting. I'll be at the beach. I truly do want to be a part of this club, so don't give up one me... I'll be here in September, for sure!
I did read Night, and was amazed again at what mankind is capable of enduring. Throughout the book, I felt as if Elie's spirit would end up being completely broken. At each turn of the page, his story became more bleak and dismal with death drawing nearer and nearer. Even through such horrific atrocities of that time, God's grace is evident in the lives of those who were victorious in the end... a good lesson for the times we are facing. Although what we are going through as a community and nation pales in comparison to what millions endured during the Holocaust, we can still have hope in things unseen.
Anyway, I hope y'all have a fantastic time next week, and I'll see you in September! -Heather
