SUMMARY:Adult Book Club
DESCRIPTION:This month\, “Delicate\, Edible Birds”\, by Lauren Groff. \nThis\, from Amazon: \nFollowing the publication of Groff’s first novel\, The Monsters of Templeton (2008)\, comes this collection of nine short stories\, six of which have never been published. The richly conceived\, finely detailed stories offer portraits of smart\, daring women who are in search of\, in thrall to\, or disillusioned by love. In “Lucky Chow Fun\,” winner of a Pushcart Prize\, Groff returns to the town of Templeton to tell the story of a high-school swimmer who uncovers the sordid sexual secrets of her seemingly idyllic small town. “L. DeBard and Aliette\,” included in the latest edition of Best American Short Stories\, is a reimagining of the love story of Abelard and Héloïse that sees the couple recast as an Olympic swimmer and his pupil\, both of whom suffer through the flu epidemic of 1918. And in the title story\, an unconventional female reporter\, fleeing the Nazis in rural France along with a band of male correspondents\, must strike a sordid bargain with a brutal farmer to secure their safe passage.

SUMMARY:Adult Book Club
DESCRIPTION:“The World According to Color” by James Fox \nFrom Amazon: \nWe have an extraordinary connection to color―we give it meanings\, associations\, and properties that last millennia and span cultures\, continents\, and languages. In The World According to Color\, James Fox takes seven elemental colors―black\, red\, yellow\, blue\, white\, purple\, and green―and uncovers behind each a root idea\, based on visual resemblances and common symbolism throughout history. \nThrough a series of stories and vignettes\, the book then traces these meanings to show how they morphed and multiplied and\, ultimately\, how they reveal a great deal about the societies that produced them: reflecting and shaping their hopes\, fears\, prejudices\, and preoccupations. \nFox also examines the science of how our eyes and brains interpret light and color\, and shows how this is inherently linked with the meanings we give to hue. And using his background as an art historian\, he explores many of the milestones in the history of art―from Bronze Age gold-work to Turner\, Titian to Yves Klein―in a fresh way. Fox also weaves in literature\, philosophy\, cinema\, archaeology\, and art―moving from Monet to Marco Polo\, early Japanese ink artists to Shakespeare and Goethe to James Bond. \nBy creating a new history of color\, Fox reveals a new story about humans and our place in the universe: second only to language\, color is the greatest carrier of cultural meaning in our world.

SUMMARY:Monthly Book Club
DESCRIPTION:“The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek” by Kim Michele Richardson \nFrom Amazon: \nThe bestselling historical fiction novel from Kim Michele Richardson\, this is a novel following Cussy Mary\, a packhorse librarian and her quest to bring books to the Appalachian community she loves\, perfect for readers of William Kent Kreuger and Lisa Wingate. The perfect addition to your next book club! \nThe hardscrabble folks of Troublesome Creek have to scrap for everything—everything except books\, that is. Thanks to Roosevelt’s Kentucky Pack Horse Library Project\, Troublesome’s got its very own traveling librarian\, Cussy Mary Carter. \nCussy’s not only a book woman\, however\, she’s also the last of her kind\, her skin a shade of blue unlike most anyone else. Not everyone is keen on Cussy’s family or the Library Project\, and a Blue is often blamed for any whiff of trouble. If Cussy wants to bring the joy of books to the hill folks\, she’s going to have to confront prejudice as old as the Appalachias and suspicion as deep as the holler. \nInspired by the true blue-skinned people of Kentucky and the brave and dedicated Kentucky Pack Horse library service of the 1930s\, The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek is a story of raw courage\, fierce strength\, and one woman’s belief that books can carry us anywhere—even back home.

SUMMARY:Monthly Book Club
DESCRIPTION:81 Days Below Zero – by Brian Murphy \nFrom Amazon: \nShortly before Christmas in 1943\, five Army aviators left Alaska’s Ladd Field on a routine flight to test their hastily retrofitted B-24 Liberator in harsh winter conditions. The mission ended in a crash that claimed all but one-Leon Crane\, a city kid from Philadelphia with no wilderness experience. With little more than a parachute for cover and an old Boy Scout knife in his pocket\, Crane found himself alone in subzero temperatures. 81 Days Below Zero recounts\, for the first time\, the full story of Crane’s remarkable twelve-week saga.
