Final Metings

By

From Nija,

(Thank you, Nija, for leading this PD Collegial Circle throughout the year and to all the facilitators of meetings!  Great book choices and presentations this year.)


Hi All,

We had a great discussion on Monday with author Trista Wilson.  Thank you for arranging this, Meagan.  Our two final meetings are Monday, May 17th and Monday, May 24th.  May 17th we will discuss our summer reads and possible books for next year.  On May 24th we will discuss our final book of the year, Long Way Down by Jason Reynolds. The reason we are meeting twice in May is because we must submit final attendance for our PD by June 4th. 

Please blog by tomorrow if you missed Monday's meeting. I will submit attendance for the meeting on Friday.

December and January Meeting Monday, January 29

By
DECEMBER    The Sherlockian by Graham Moore   Moderator, Brad Craddock JANUARY         My Absolute Darling by Gabriel Tallant   Moderator, Shelley Davis Hurtling from present day New York to Victorian London,  The Sherlockian  weaves the history of Sherlock Holmes and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle into an inspired and entertaining double mystery that proves to be anything but "elementary." In December 1893, Sherlock Holmes-adoring Londoners eagerly opened their Strand magazines, anticipating the detective's next adventure, only to find the unthinkable: his creator, Arthur Conan Doyle, had killed their hero off. London spiraled into mourning-crowds sported black armbands in grief-and railed against Conan Doyle as his assassin. Then in 1901, just as abruptly as Conan Doyle had "murdered" Holmes in "The Final Problem," he resurrected him. Though the writer kept detailed diaries of his days and work, Conan Doyle never explained this sudden change of heart. Afte

 Monday, 1/29/2024 The Night I Spent with Aubrey Fisher  by Christopher M. Tantillo. Moderated by Erica Smith A boy determined to die. A girl determined to save his life. After the death of his little brother, Grayson's guilt spirals his life into chaos; it's all his fault. He wants to rewind that night back. To erase the pain he's caused. So he's decided; in twenty-four hours, he'll kill himself. Then mysterious and reckless Aubrey shows up with a proposition: a "literally insane" all-night adventure that will show him the beauty in the mundane. Grayson doesn't know why the foster girl with the piercings, crimson locks, and fishnet leggings is helping, especially when he finds out she harbors dark secrets of her own.

Told in a heartfelt yet poignant style interspersed with quirky humor,  The Night I Spent with Aubr

Today Will Be Different by Maria Semple

By
Meeting:  March 30 2:45  A 238 Moderator: Marcy Gamzon A brilliant novel and instant New York Times bestseller from the author of  Where'd You Go, Bernadette , about a day in the life of Eleanor Flood, forced to abandon her small ambitions and awake to a strange, new future. Eleanor knows she's a mess. But today, she will tackle the little things. She will shower and get dressed. She will have her poetry and yoga lessons after dropping off her son, Timby. She won't swear. She will initiate sex with her husband, Joe. But before she can put her modest plan into action, life happens. Today, it turns out, is the day Timby has decided to fake sick to weasel his way into his mother's company. It's also the day Joe has chosen to tell his office -- but not Eleanor -- that he's on vacation. Just when it seems like things can't go more awry, an encounter with a former colleague produces a graphic memoir whose dramatic tale threatens to reveal a buried family
