Hello Book-Clubbers!
At our last meeting, we shared books that we enjoyed, here are a few of them:
Anna Viner shared When I was Joe by Keren David. She said:
This book is about a person named Ty who lives in London. He witnessed a murder so he is put into the witness protection program to protect him from the gang who murdered the person.
Aj DeSchamp shared Tithe by Holly Black. He describes it as:

Justine Trollinger enjoyed reading Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor. She dubs it as:

Rebecca Barrett read The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. She says:
<3 The Handmaid's Tale is a work of dystopic fiction about the ultra-religious right taking over the country. Women are either wives, handmaids or servants. The handmaids are sex slaves whose job is to bear healthy children. Which is difficult due to the nuclear fallout.
Well, this is just a sampling of the books talked about at our previous meeting!
Our next meeting will be on May 9th, at 3:30 @ the CHS library! The book we'll be discussing is Across the Universe. It is about a girl who is frozen with other humans traveling to a planet 'across the universe'. However, decades before arriving at the new planet, she is unfrozen...
