November book club book change decided

Hi Everyone,

For the November 1st book club, we will be discussing Sarah Dunant's "In the Company of the Courtesan," a wonderful historical novel set in 16th century Venice. Thanks to everyone who provided suggestions. We will read "Restless" by William Boyd for the December 6th discussion. We will have more copies of "Restless" available in the store in a few weeks.

Just a reminder that we will not be meeting next Thursday. We will meet on Thursday, October 11th.

See you soon,

Gretchen & Matthew

Neeed suggestions for bookclub book

Hi Everyone,

"Restless," our book club pick for November, has suddenly gone completely out of stock at the publisher and all of our distributors. We will not be able to get any for a few weeks, so we'll just make it the choice for December.

Anyway, I'm looking for suggestions of books you might like to read for November. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know right away, as I'll need to order the books by this Thursday.

Hope to hear from you,

Gretchen
