We recently finished our fourth meeting of Coffee By the Book at Bailiwicks Coffee Company! This month's title was Turn of Mind by Alice LaPlante.
This book group is focused on debut authors. Many of the titles are quirky and may have flown under your radar. Past titles have included Bed, The Night Circus, and The Family Fang. But what other titles have we considered or are considering? Glad you asked! Here are just a few:
Taft 2012 by Jason Heller- This is a hilarious look at modern politics through the eyes of a recently returned William Howard Taft.
The Light Between Oceans by ML Stedman- A heartbreaking and beautifully written debut.
The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared by Jonas Jonasson- Seriously. How could you not want to read this one with a title like that?
In Between Days by Andrew Porter- This one offers more depth than your typical dysfunctional family fare.
The Dinner by Herman Koch- This one is not out in the U.S., but I did get an opportunity to read an advance copy. Similar to We Need to Talk About Kevin but excecuted better, in my opinion.
The Story of a Marriage by Andrew Sean Greer- This is a very lyrical story about a couple having to deal with a devastating secret.
Join us on February 21 at Bailiwicks from 6:00-7:00 when we will discuss The Weird Sisters by Eleanor Brown. Copies will be available at the Tiffin-Seneca Public Library. Email maych@oplin.org if you have any questions.
