Evan | 118 comments Our next book club selection is The Hour of Land by Terry Tempest Williams. This book is new, so it's a little more expensive than our usual selections, but I was able to get us copies for $16 each. Let me know if you'd like one!

I'm planning to give us more time to read this one since it's somewhat long, plus the holidays will be upon us. I'd like to propose Tuesday, January 3rd for our discussion. If you know that won't work for you, please let me know. If a lot of people have trouble with that date, I'll look at switching it.

Thanks for letting me know you have one, Carol. I'm looking forward to this discussion too. Should be a good one!

Actually, Evan, can you reserve 2 copies for me? Thanks!

Amber | 2 comments Hey Evan! I'm catching up on the conversation here... I'd like to have a copy of the book to read but I'm pretty sure I'll still be out of town for the discussion. What was the theme this time around?

The theme was nature writing. I'll hold one for you, Amber, and let you know when it arrives. Thanks!

Abrona | 6 comments Hey guys, this book sounds great! Good pick. I am pretty tight on money right now, I have a hold on this book at the library. But would anyone be down to split the price and trade reading it?

I'm right there with you, Abrona. I've got one on hold from the library too. In case it helps though, I've also ordered in one extra copy to just keep at the store for people to read. Even if you can't do a bookstore shift, feel free to borrow it if you're in having coffee sometime.

I am so so so sad that I can't come tonight but I have the plague and am probably contagious. I really loved this book and can't wait to talk to someone else about it, though.

Evan | 118 comments Bummer! Sorry you can't join us, Beth. I'll look forward to hearing your thoughts whenever I see you next. Rest up and feel better!
