Just the Facts book group
For September, Just the Facts Nonfiction Book Discussion Group will read “The Great Beanie Baby Bubble: Mass Delusion and the Dark Side of Cute” by Zac Bissonnette.
How many Beanie Babies are you storing at your house? Confess! There was never a craze like those $5 beanbag animals with cute names like Seaweed the Otter. Suburban moms stalked UPS trucks to get the latest models, one sold for $10,000, and some people invested way too much money in them. Just as strange as this mass hysteria was the man behind it. Ty Warner devoted all his energy to creating what he hoped would be the perfect stuffed animal. Did he succeed? Why did people lose their minds over a stuffed animal. Find out as the group discusses the book on Thursday, Sept. 22 at 6:30 p.m.
Café Parlez fiction book club
The Café Parlez selection for September is “Turn of Mind” by Alice LaPlante. Dr. Jennifer White, recently widowed and a newly retired orthopedic surgeon, is entering the beginning stages of dementia when her life-long friend and neighbor Amanda is killed. Dr. White is the prime suspect and she herself doesn’t know if she did it or not.
Narrated in her voice, a picture emerges of the intimate and complex alliance between the two women who were at times each other’s most formidable adversaries.
The book discuss will be held Thursday, Sept. 29 at 6:30 p.m. Books are available at the desk.
