Collegedale Public Library discussion

This month our reading selection will be a book recommended by your favorite blog, vlog, or podcast.

Problem: I don't follow any of those.

Try Sarah's Bookshelves Live or One Great Book (Anne Bogel) podcasts.

I only listen to one podcast, The Popcast with Knox and Jamie. they do green lights every week and often they choose a book to green light. from their list of books I chose Bel Canto by Ann Patchett. I grew up in Lima Peru so looking forward to this one.

That should be an awesome read, Rebekah!

I need to check out your suggestion Kelly. Of course I am currently trying to finish 2, and have an audiobook in the wings.


I COMPLETELY forgot! Modern Mrs. Darcy!!!! DUH!!! I have so many books in my TBR list from her blog. I'll post which one i decide on later.

You stay safe as well, Jay! Happy reading!

I'm reading when all is said. My book club is currently reading it and a found a blog that recommends it.

That's great, Sara!

I am starting "Farewell to Mars: An Evangelical Pastor's Journey Toward the Biblical Gospel of Peace" by Brian Zahnd. The book was highlighted on 2 Podcasts I listen to regularly, "Jesus for Everyone: the Intersection of Faith and Social Justice" and "The Apprenticeship Way with Marc Alan Schelske. I am loving this reading challenge as it is encouraging me to read books that I have wanted to get to but just haven't made the time to get to them. I also love seeing the books that others on this thread are reading.

I'm picking Song of Achilles. A Buzzfeed recommendation for the present isolation.

l read A Good Neighborhood by Therese Anne Fowler. It was recommended on Sarah's Bookshelves Live. It was also a Book of the Month selection.

Sounds like a great choice, John!

It didn't go at all. Still hope to read it someday. Just couldn't get into it now.

When All is Said is a good book but a bit heavy at times. I highly recommend listening to it as it feels like your listening to a storyteller, not just a narrator.

Sounds like a great read, Sara! I am recommending it for e-audio on TN Reads.

Bel Canto was a bust for me. I didn't like it at all.

I haven't read that one, Rebekah. I recently read The Dutch House by Ann Patchett and I enjoyed it.
