In May, we read Delia Owens' novel
Where the Crawdads Sing. Our group celebrated Delia Owens for the story of Kya living in the Southern marshes off the North Carolina coast. Albeit the story is at times hard to believe. How does Kya survive alone in the wilds? How does she escape going to school and how does she actually carry out the major (spoiler alert) crime, given the fact that she is not a frequent traveller. Also, we love that she became successful, but is this plausible? That and other questions were tossed about at our book discussion. Mindy had done a bit of research and enriched our discussion with some background information about the author and her intention to write a novel about living in isolation.
For June, we are planning to read
An American Marriage by Tayari Jones. We are planning on Tim's house on June 4 at 6:45.
In July we read the Immortalists by Chloe Benjamin. We had a great discussion about self fulfilling prophecies. Did each of the characters allow the predictions for the future dictate their destinies? We had a great discussion around each story and which stories spoke to us personally. We all loved Varia's story the best of all the stories. We wondered if knowing the date made a difference. 
Next month we are at Terry's at 7PM on August 19th, reading Rules of Civility by Amor Towles.
In June we read An American Marriage by Tayari Jones. I missed this meeting because I wrote the wrong date done and because I was also late on writing the blog, I missed the book club. Reportedly everyone liked the book. I will update this when I can.
