      Gather is meant for Young adult readers. I would recommend “Born to Run” by Michael Malpurgo or “The Dog Who Wouldn’t be” by Farley Mowat. TinTin comics have the lovely dog Snowy in them.

    Most likely the library books are RFID tagged - Radio Frequency Identification tags, which were recorded as you extracted the book and marked as checked out to you. Many libraries have this technology and it’s been around for a decade plus at least.

    My book club ended up divided on this book. One person really loved it because Willa’s family is very much like her own right now. She wondered if it would resonate as much if she read it five years earlier. One person also gave up at 60 pages, one couldn’t even start and one was 50-50.

    Library holds can be such a blessing and a curse. I spend more time than I should checking where I am in the queue and fiddling with the pause function. Over the course of a couple of weeks I’ll shift the paused date a couple of times depending on my ridiculous reading plans and whether a book seems to be moving through the system. It’s all an elaborate game of library chicken really.

    My worries are the future of my country. But I am also intrigued about Birnam Wood, it's on my want to read pinterest. Does your book club take turns choosing books and does the person who chose it lead the discussion? We've been reading classics from the 1800's (not really my choice) just finished Frankenstein. My last choice was Vaster Wilds so I'm researching my next choice which will most likely not be liked by a few members. The Dark Rising series sounds fun too...Take care =)

    • @booksatthebottomofthestair8446
      @booksatthebottomofthestair8446 Месяц назад

      We used to give each person a choice but never was anyone in charge of discussing it. We just wade in with opinions and subjective comments. I never read reviews or listen to author readings or interviews. I take the book as it comes. Sometimes someone will come across an interesting article and share it. These days we bandy about several titles and have group consensus. Several of us are in their late 70’s and don’t want to waste time reading a book if others give up. We often change our minds if something pops up and intrigues us, or there is feed back that a book disappoints one of us. We are free to retract a suggestion in that case. Sort of a chaotic method but it works. We’ve been meeting for over years, so the rules are pretty flabby, like most of us.

    This is my first time coming across your channel, and believe me I need book recommendations. I consider myself a picky reader and it’s really hard to find books that keep me hooked. I was never much of a reader when I was little, so I am trying to go back and read all of the books that I missed out on. One of my favorites right now it the Charlie Bone: Children of the Red King series by Jenny Nimmo. They are very Harry Potter-esq and are just really cute and fun to read.
