I belong to an adult book club, made up of mostly librarians. I missed last night’s June meeting and the flurry that happens at the end. That’s where we decide which books we will read for next month. Yes, I said books because we only read children’s and YA books. It is the best book club ever!
We usually choose about 10-12 books a month, a mix of picture books, longer fiction, non fiction and graphic novels. As we make each decision, phones are out and holds are placed at libraries.
Because I missed last night’s meeting, I didn’t see the list until I checked my email this morning. Before I began writing this post, my holds had been placed. All is well with the world.
Here is our July reading list(with links to my local library system):
Shorter Fiction:
- Ocean Meets Sky (Fan)

- Pie is For Sharing (Ledyard)
