October - Mysterybook suggestion: Library of Souls

November - Library Kitbook: to be determined; chosen by hostess
hostess: Shelagh
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
December - Cookbookbook suggestion: I would suggest that we have the hostess choose a "bargain" cookbook from the Bookoutlet and order copies for as many people as are interested. If we aim for a cookbook for under $10, then we should have lot of choices without having to spend much on another cookbook.
Suggestions from Book Outlet:
Food for Life by Laila Ali $15.09 (more recipe/less story?)
The Weeknight Dinner Cookbook: by Mary Younkin $8-11 (more recipe/less story?)
Sugar, Butter, Flour: The Waitress Pie Book by Jenna Hunterson $12.29 (more recipe/less story?)
Bread and Wine by Shauna Niequist $10.89 (maybe more story than cooking?)
hostess: Sherrie
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
January - Biographybook suggestions:
- Suzanne by Anais Barbeau-Lavalette
- The Forgotten Child by Richard Gallear
- Inheritance by Dani Shapiro
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
February - Couples Meetingbook suggestions:
- Born a Crime by Trevor Noah (Costco has this one for about $12 right now)
- A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles
- In the Heart of the Sea by Nathaniel Philbrick
hostess: Tessa
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you have additional suggestions, please add them directly to the post with the book suggestions for the month. Then, to save time deliberating all these options at the next meeting, please add your thoughts to the comments below!
Another suggestion to hold onto for later: The Map of Salt and Stars by Jennifer Zeynab Joukhadar
Would love to do The Princess and the Goblin for May! That is the book that started my love of fantasy.
