Community Room This month's selection is Between Two Kingdoms by Suleika Jaouad. "A few weeks shy of her twenty-third birthday, Jaouad received a diagnosis of leukemia, with a 35 percent chance of survival. She would spend much of the next four years in a hospital bed, fighting for her life and chronicling the saga in a column for The New York Times. After countless rounds of chemo, a clinical trial, and a bone marrow transplant, she learned that a cure is not where the work of healing ends; it's where it begins. How could she reclaim what had been lost? Jaouad embarked on a 100-day, 15,000-mile road trip across the country. This is her inspiring exploration of what it means to begin again. -- adapted from jacket. Looking ahead to the November 5 meeting, the group will discuss A Marriage at Sea by Sophie Elmhirst. You can visit us to pick up a copy, place a hold, or ask a librarian to order a copy for you. |

You, Me & Tuscany This month, we will screen You, Me & Tuscany, rated PG-13 (1 hour, 45 min). Halle Bailey stars as Anna, a young woman who has abandoned her dream of becoming a chef and is now drifting through her twenties, making a series of bad choices. When Anna loses her house-sitting job (and housing) in one fell swoop, a chance encounter with Matteo a handsome Italian who happens to have a villa sitting empty in Tuscany will inspire her to jet off for Italy, against the advice of her always-honest bestie, Claire. But Anna's plan to crash at Matteo's villa without permission, just for one night, falls apart when Matteo's mother, Gabriella, shows up unexpectedly. In a panic, Anna allows Gabriella to believe that she is Matteo's fiancée. That little lie becomes a big problem when Matteo's cousin, Michael, shows up and Anna discovers that the heat between them may ignite a fire that will transform her life. Movie Matinee is for Ages 18 +. Bring a covered beverage if you like. |
