The Cherrydale Library Book Group: "Playground: A Novel"
We're a volunteer-led Zoom book club focused on fiction and nonfiction titles. New members are always welcome.
Discussions are held usually on the 4th Monday of every month, unless otherwise noted.
We are reading:
- May 19: “The Color of Water: a Black Man's Tribute to His White Mother” by James McBride
- June 16: "Playground: A Novel" by Richard Powers
"A characterful, capacious, and engaging novel, distilling subjects as diverse as oceanography, climate change, the legacies of colonialism, and the arc of a lifelong friendship into an exhilaratingly entangled narrative in which Powers’ unparalleled gifts for revealing the magic and mystery of the natural world are on full display."― The 2024 Booker Prize Judges
- July/August 11: "The Women: A Novel" by Kristen Hannah
Books are available first-come, first-served, and copies may be limited. Patrons are strongly encouraged to place holds on available print or digital copies in advance.
REGISTRATION REQUIRED.
