HISTORY BOOK CLUB

Oops! The change in the date for the history book club led to confusion on the part of our leader Tanya and some of our members. Therefore, we will remain with the same selection for the month of October: Mark Bowden's Black Hawk Down .

.

Synopsis

.

The behind-the-lines story of the U.S. Special Forces team dropped into the middle of Mogadishu, Somalia, in 1993 and the intense firefight for their lives they went through. A true-to-life thriller that gives the political story of what U.S. troops were doing there in the first place and the military details of what the streetfighting cost both sides.

.

This foray into modern warfare will be an interesting read and we hope that you will pick up a copy at B&N and join us for the discussion October 15th at 7:30 p.m. in the B&N Cafe.

We are moving from 1938 and The Maltese Falcon to a contemporary mystery for October's selection.

.

In the Bleak Midwinter (Clare Fergusson Series #1) by Julia Spencer-Fleming is a first-class read with believeable characters and superb writing.

.

B&N says,

.

"Clare Fergusson, St. Alban's new priest, fits like a square peg in the conservative Episcopal parish at Miller's Kill, New York. She is not just a "lady"; she's a tough ex-Army chopper pilot, and nobody's fool. Then a newborn infant left at the church door brings her together with the town's police chief, Russ Van Alstyne, who's also ex-Army and a cynical good shepherd for the stray sheep of his hometown. Their search for the baby's mother quickly leads them into the secrets that shadow Miller's Kill like the ever-present Adirondacks. What they discover is a world of trouble, an attraction to each other - and murder.... "

.

I hope you will pick up a copy of this novel in the mystery section of B&N and join us for a great discussion on October 18th at 10:00 a.m.
