Fourth Monday Book Group
Meets on Zoom every fourth Monday at 10:00am.
December Book: No Meeting
Our pre-pandemic tradition was to skip meeting in December which usually has enough activity without adding a book group discussion. This year the fourth Monday will be the day after Christmas, hardly a time most of us need to be preparing for or signing into a Zoom meeting.
In brief: No meeting in December.

February Book: The Dictionary of Lost Words by Pip Williams
Set in the early twentieth century at the height of the women’s suffrage movement, this unique novel interweaves the birth of the multi-volume Oxford English Dictionary and the coming of age of fictional Esme.
She grows up motherless, fascinated and engulfed by the work of her father and his fellow lexicographers. In the words of Library Journal: “Enchanting, sorrowful, and wonderfully written, the book is a one-of-a kind celebration of language in our lives. A must have.”
