    The book for November has changed to the October selection.


    Our host for this month is Elise Kay.


    Our book is "After Annie: A Novel," by Anna Quindlen.


    When Annie Brown dies suddenly, her husband, her children, and her closest friend are left to find a way forward without the woman who has been the lynchpin of all their lives. Bill is overwhelmed without his beloved wife, and Annemarie wrestles with the bad habits her best friend had helped her overcome. And Ali, the eldest of Annie’s children, has to grow up overnight, to care for her younger brothers and even her father and to puzzle out for herself many of the mysteries of adult life.


    Over the course of the next year what saves them all is Annie, ever-present in their minds, loving but not sentimental, caring but nobody’s fool, a voice in their heads that is funny and sharp and remarkably clear. The power she has given to those who loved her is the power to go on without her. The lesson they learn is that no one beloved is ever truly gone.


    Note: The book is available through the Pinellas Public Library Cooperative at multiple branches; Libby has ebook or audiobook versions.

    This is the Book Club’s annual holiday party.


    Our host is TBD.


    For this month's meeting we gather together to share fellowship and the joy of the season. There is no book selected.


    For our holiday gift exchange we each bring a small gift, or perhaps a re-gift, a thrift store treasure or something funny. (It's not an exchange of generic items worth a certain amount.)


    Place the gift in a brown paper grocery bag and staple or tape it shut so it's surprise to whomever chooses it. We each take a number and pick a bag in turn or take someone else's gift if we like it better! It's always great fun!


    You are invited to bring an appetizer or holiday treat and/or a bottle of wine to share.

    Our book is "Tom Lake: A Novel," by Anne Pachett.



    In the spring of 2020, Lara’s three adult daughters return to the family's cherry orchard in Northern Michigan. While picking cherries, they beg their mother to tell them the story of Peter Duke, a famous actor with whom she shared both a stage and a romance years before at a summer-theater company called Tom Lake. As Lara recalls and shares the past, her daughters examine their own lives and relationship with their mother, and are forced to reconsider the world and everything they thought they knew. A thoughtful story about family, love, and growing up.


    Note: The book is available through the Pinellas Public Library Cooperative at multiple branches; Libby and Hoopla have ebook or audiobook versions. The audiobook was recorded by Meryl Streep.
