July, August, September and October

I have no excuse as the writer of this blog on behalf of the Greater Westford Literary Society.  Afterall, it was my idea to change the composition book where one had to merely jot down the name of the book and the title to an electronic version reviewing out reactions.  But what to do with said author when things fall behind..as they have for the past 4 months?  I will attempt to review our reading and reactions to our chosen novels in this blog and will hereafter try to never get this behind!

July 17, 2017  The Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles  at Cindy's House

We all thoroughly enjoyed it, I think.  Maybe Allan not so much.








August 2017 Here I am by Jonathan Safran Foer at Tim's House
We thought it was overwritten and much too long and a little indulgent.




October 9, 2017 Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi at Chrysanne's House
We loved it and found it profound and needing a reread and perhaps some more knowledge of the history of the African slave trade to truly appreciate this great work.




November 29, 2017 Disappearances by Howard Frank Mosher at Allan's House hosted by Lexi
There will be a vocabulary quiz by Cindy for words taken from the text.
