Books for February!
Friends! I am so excited to be hosting book club :) Here are three books I've either had on my list for a while or that I already own and want to read :)
The Ghost Map: The Story of London's Most Terrifying Epidemic--and How It Changed Science, Cities, and the Modern World by Steven Johnson (my epidemiologist sister told me about this one :)
A Memory of Violets: A Novel of London's Flower Sellers by Hazel Gaynor
All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven (it's winning all the awards)
I hope one of these looks good to everyone!

December Reading Choices
I had a hard time with this one but here goes.....
Precious Bane, Mary Webb -- Reviews here. We read this years ago for book club but only two people came, and I would love to discuss it with a larger group. It's a lovely, lyrical book; the downside is that it's hard to find. ILL is down so I can't tell if it's available there, but I have a copy to loan out. It's ~$3 on Kindle/Audible/Abebooks.com, and I think it's worth the investment. Really, it's so good.
-- UPDATE: The library has two copies available through interlibrary loan.
Go Set A Watchman, Harper Lee -- Her prequel to To Kill A Mockingbird. Reviews here and the reviews are mixed, but I'd like to read and discuss. There are lots of library copies but also a long backlog.
In Another Girl's Shoes, Berta Ruck -- Details and reviews here. This book was written during WWI by a woman in England, so obviously, she didn't know the outcome of the war yet. It's fun and light, and I like the insight into culture/ideas/social mores. This is also out-of-print (I know; sorry to make it tricky), but $3 on Kindle.
