The Refuge (Maxie and Stretch Series #3) by Sue Henry is our selection for November. This is a departure for us as we usually read only the first in a series, but this particular book was recommended by one of our members.

"After nine months on the road, Maxie McNabb is ready for some R&R, Alaska-style, with her miniature dachshund, Stretch. But no sooner has the sixty-something RVer parked the Mini-Winnie than a pleading phone call sends her flying to Hawaii to aid an injured acquaintance."

We hope that you will pick up a copy of this novel at B&N and join us for the discussion on November 16th at 10:00 a.m. in the B&N Cafe. Also, you may purchase this book on line as a digital E-Book that can be read from your computer or IPhone. Check out our website at bn.com for information and instructions.

KNITTING BOOK CLUB


Dear Knitters,
.
We feel that we have reached the saturation point with Jane Austen's novels and have decided to make a new selection for October. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer, Annie Barrows.
.
"January 1946: writer Juliet Ashton receives a letter from a stranger, a founding member of the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. And so begins a remarkable tale of the island of Guernsey during the German occupation, and of a society as extraordinary as its name. "
.
This novel has been a bestseller since it was first introduced and was a favorite among book clubs in 2009.
.
So, if you haven't already, pick up a copy at B&N, bring your latest knitting project and meet us on Monday, October 12th at 7:00 p.m. for a great discussion of this book.
.
Leslie
