 Granby Public Library The Un-Book-Club
Most book clubs involve reading and talking about a selected title. The un-book-club is a little different! The library staff will select a book that has received good reviews and has been the topic for book discussions in other libraries.
The loan period will be 14 days with one renewal allowed.
Share your opinion of these (and any other) books by logging onto the library catalog at home. Look for the Reader Review box, click on it, follow directions, and become a local book reviewer. If you'd like to read some reviews search these titles and click on Reader Reviews on the left side of the
screen: Patrimony: A True Story, Sight For Sore Eyes, Animals Make Us Human, Tales of Beedle the Bard. These are just some of the reviews written by local readers. Add your thoughts about the books you have read!
The April Un-Book Club selection is Saving CeeCee Honeycutt, by Beth Hoffman
Twelve-year-old CeeCee Honeycutt is in trouble. For years, she has been the caretaker of her psychotic mother, Camille-the tiara-toting, lipstick-smeared laughing stock of an entire town- a woman trapped in her long-ago moment of glory as the 1951 Vidalia Onion Queen. But when Camille is hit by a truck and killed, CeeCee is left to fend for herself. To the rescue comes her previously unknown great-aunt, Tootie Caldwell. In her vintage Packard convertible, Tootie whisks CeeCee away to Savannah's perfumed world of prosperity and Southern eccentricity, a world that seems to be run entirely by women. Laugh-out-loud funny and deeply touching, Beth Hoffman's sparkling debut is, as Kristin Hannah says, "packed full of Southern charm, strong women, wacky humor, and good old-fashioned heart."
Borrow a copy, read it, and share your thoughts online or on one of the reader review cards tucked in the book.
