Unfortunately because of the latest surge and the highly contagiousness of the Omicron variant we have had to cancel our January book club gathering. The irony is not lost that we must cancel the gathering and are unable to discuss Priya Parker’s book on THE ART OF GATHERING.
I thought I’d take a moment to invite anyone and everyone to challenge themselves for 2022. I track my books on the GOODREADS site, www.goodreads.com This site is mostly great for me to not only keep track of what I have read but to get recommendations. The website’s algorithm will show you books or you can follow various authors, such as Roxane Gay or newer authors like Xochitl Gonzalez. You can see what they have reviewed and recommended.
Finally, the site appeals to my organizational sense as it allows the creation of “shelves” so that you can keep track of what you have read or want to read or custom shelves. I created one called “waiting on my shelf” because I tend to buy books and forget about them. A new setting allows you to shelve books bought on Amazon, if you do that. But as always I will recommend the independent bookstore when possible.
