Learning: Good Reads Book Discussion (February)Date: February 9Time: 7:00–8:30 pmLocation: Church libraryContact with Questions: Katy Hansen (khansen240@gmail.com)Good Reads book discussion will meet in person to discuss The Correspondent by Virginia Evans. “The charming debut from Evans takes the form of letters and emails exchanged by a divorced and retired woman with her friends, family, foes, and literary idols…the detailed connections between each character are brilliantly mapped through the correspondence. It adds up to an appealing family drama”. __Publishers WeeklyWe also chose Finding My Way:A Memoir by Malala Yousafzai to discuss on Monday, March 30th.“Part coming-of-age memoir, part reclamation, Finding My Way is a portrait of a woman who has learned that courage isn’t just about defying extremists, but also about allowing yourself to be ordinary.” __Marie Claire
