[MD-Sligo] Sligo Creek - Upcoming Book Club Discusion and Holiday conversation by Zoom open to all

[Jeff Baer]

Hello!

I realize that the Sligo Creek Chapter's Book Club might not be for everyone. We read books of all types, and many of them cover serious topics, which may require effort to read and then lead to good discussions.

But I especially wanted to highlight one upcoming book because it is lighthearted, entertaining, and captures the magic of the holiday season, no matter which holidays you celebrate yourself.

Feel free to read the book or just plan on joining us for a seasonal conversation about family and about how hard moments do not define us, plus how magical stories are part of all cultural traditions for celebrating holidays.

The next book club meeting will be by Zoom at 1:30pm on Saturday, December 6. And the book we will be discussing  - an extra fun one, is:

 "The Twelve Topsy-Turvy, Very Messy Days of Christmas" by James Patterson and Tad Safran
BARD / NLS DB # 116361

Good Reads Description:
"Every year at Christmastime, Will and Ella Sullivan, and their father, Henry, come to a family agreement: Christmas is a holiday for other people.

At their brownstone in Harlem, stockings go unstuffed, tinsel unstrewn, gifts unbought, mistletoe unhung, chestnuts unroasted, carols unplayed, cookies uncooked, a tree un-visible, and guests uninvited.

Until guests start arriving anyway. In pairs and sixes, in sevens and tens—they keep coming. And they stay. For twelve long, hard, topsy-turvy, very messy days. That’s when the Sullivans discover that those moments in life that defy hope, expectation, or even imagination, might be the best gifts of all."


Please let me know if you are not a regular participant in the Book Club but would like to receive the Zoom link for December's holiday-themed and casual conversation about the holiday season.
