Book Buzz

Book Buzz members will meet on Thursday, August 27 via ZOOM for a conversation about JoJo Moyes's most recent book, The Giver of Stars.  The meeting will begin at 7 p.m. and participants will be sent a ZOOM link to join the discussion which will be led by Cicely Michalak.
The Giver of Stars is based on the true story of the Pack Horse Library which was a Work Progress Administration project that ran from 1935 to 1943 and turned women and their horses into bookmobiles in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky, delivering books to the most isolated residents.  The book "stars" an impulsive British woman, her band of librarians on horseback, a punishing winter in Appalachia, moonshiners with itchy trigger fingers and the town's coal tycoon just begging them to shoot.  The story has been described as "an unforgettable drama of loyalty, justice, humanity and passion," making it a perfect end-of-the-summer read.
When:

Where:
The meeting will take place on ZOOM and a link to join the discussion on-line will be sent to member
