For our August meeting, we will be switching from our usual fourth Tuesday to fourth Thursday of the month for the rest of the year. That means our next meeting will be on Thursday, August 27 at 7 pm. Tentatively, we will meet at the Lemon Grove located in downtown Youngstown. This meeting place may change if the Grove is not open for business by then (I know they are close!), so an update will be sent out and posted here to make sure everyone knows where to meet. Our next book will be Arundhati Roy’s The God of Small Things:
Here is a brief summary and some reviews:

At the next meeting, we will vote on a new selection for November, so be thinking about a title you think our group might enjoy. And if you are interested in getting a head start on the reading list for the rest of the year, click the the Book List link to the right of this post.
I’m looking forward to seeing you all in August. Until then, happy reading!

The potlucks have been a lot of fun and delicious, however for this month’s meeting, we will meet at the Inner Circle on the campus of YSU, Tuesday July 21 at 7 pm. This month’s selection is The Seville Communion by Arturo Perez-Reverte:
This one looks like it’s going to be a perfect summer read! If you would like to know more about this author (this is the first I have heard of him), here is his website: http://www.perez-reverte.com/SevilleCommunion/description.asp
And here is a review of the book if you would like a quick overview: http://www.mostlyfiction.com/mystery/perezreverte.htm#seville
I’m looking forward to seeing you all! Happy reading!
