September's Book Selection

Record Attendance!!??

I'm not sure, because I don't usually count, but I think we had a record last night!  If I remembered correctly this morning, I think we had 19!  That was with several "regulars" missing!  We had 3 brand new book loving ladies!!  It was a great discussion, as usual!  Thanks to Tania for hosting us and to all who brought food!  REMEMBER WE MEET ON THE THIRD TUESDAY IN SEPTEMBER, SEPTEMBER 17TH!!  SO THAT ONLY GIVES US 3 WEEKS TO READ  "THE FINE LINE".  Year 6 is off to a great start!!

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS FOR WONDERLAND CREEK

I loved reading about books and libraries for book club!  Did you?

Who was your favorite character? Why?

Would you have gone to a place like Acorn without getting a response to your letter asking if you could come?

Could you have survived in the conditions she faced after being dropped off by her aunt and uncle?

Were you surprised by which guy Alice ended up with?

There is a line in a movie that goes something like this...."so much of what I see reminds me of something I read in a book when shouldn't it be the other way around".  Alice realized she was living vicariously through her books....have you ever done that?

Do you think people reading this book that don't live in, or know about Kentucky, picture all of the state to be like the area she was in?

How did this book make you feel about the "abundance" we have?

Did you have any new "thoughts" about how people who are different from you should be treated?

If you could write the next chapter in Alice's life, what would happen?
