I'm reading this book right now and will have the discussion thread up by next week. The thread will be available for discussion this entire summer.Doughgirl5562 / Lynne – Co-Admin of the Minneapolis-St.Paul-Minnesota Group
Thanks for accepting my friendship invitaton.
Hi Alex, I just wanted to send you a quick note to tell you that the Minneapolis-St.Paul-Minnesota Group has chosen some good books to read and discuss together during the upcoming months. Our Group Read for the months of September/October will be The Master Butcher’s Singing Club by Louise Erdrich and the group read for the months of November/December will be Growing An Inch by Stanley Gordon West. Both books are by Minnesota authors.I invite you to join us in reading and discussing these books. Personally, I just finished reading The Master Butchers Singing Club and thought it was a wonderful piece of historical fiction with intriguing characters. Should make for an interesting discussion.Lynne / Doughgirl5562 – Co-Admin of the Minneapolis-St.Paul-Minnesota Group
Hi Alex,Just wanted to let you know that we are currently taking nominations for September/October group reads for the Minneapolis-St.Paul-Minnesota group .The books nominated don't have to be by Minnesota authors or have Minnesota ties, but that is preferable. Feel free to nominate any genre and type of book, as long as you think it is interesting and relevant to this group. Nominations will remain open a few more days, at which time I will close nominations and we will vote.There is also a separate thread to discuss how the group want to proceed with group reads in general. Whether or not to do them. How often, etc. Your input on this subject would be very much appreciated also!Doughgirl / Lynne
