Book Club at Resurrection Lutheran Church

Do you love reading books? Do you love reading books with a group of people? Are you looking for people to discuss literature with? Many love to read books, but it can be hard to find someone to discuss the book with after you’re done reading it. If you are interested in meeting other people to discuss the books you read, you should consider joining the book club at Resurrection. Here you will find great opportunities to meet new people and make new friends.

Membership

Membership is open to all who love reading books and making time to share their understanding with others. The book club at Resurrection Lutheran Church consists of a number of great minds who read and talk about books based on a topic or an agreed-upon reading list. We choose a specific book to read and discuss each month. The club is focused on reading books that enrich the hearts and lives of its members.

If you feel like being part of a book club with an atmosphere of love and mutual influence is something of interest to you, please join us. You can contact Ruth Wolter at 618-433-1469 for information as to how to become a member.

Meeting Time and Venue

Our next meeting will be, October 8th at 6:30 pm at Church

Past Books

September - Teresa Droste has volunteered to be the discussion leader for our meeting on September 10th at the church. Her book choice is Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah. It is available at the local library. Summary: In the turbulent summer of 1974, Kate Mularkey has accepted her place at the bottom of the eighth-grade social food chain. Then, to her amazement, the "coolest girl in the world" moves in across the street and wants to be her friend. Tully Hart seems to have it all--beauty, brains, ambition. On the surface they are as opposite as two people can be, but they make a pact to be best friends forever; by summer's end they've become Tully and Kate. Inseparable. For thirty years, Tully and Kate are there for each other, weathering the storms of friendship--jealousy, anger, resentment. They think they've survived it all until an unexpected betrayal puts their bond to the ultimate test.

Vicki Baggio volunteered to be the discussion leader for October 8th. Her book of choice is The Stolen Life of Colette Marceau by Kristin Harmel. It is available at the library.

Summary: Colette Marceau has been stealing jewels for nearly as long as she can remember, following the centuries-old code of honor instilled in her by her mother, Annabel: take only from the cruel and unkind, and give to those in need. Never was their family tradition more important than during the Second World War, when Annabel and Colette worked side by side in Paris to fund the French Resistance. But one night in 1942, it all went wrong. Annabel was arrested by the Germans, and Colette's four-year-old sister Liliane, disappeared in the chaos of the raid, along with an exquisite diamond bracelet sewn into the hem of her nightgown for safekeeping. Soon after, Annabel was executed, and Liliane's body was discovered floating in the Seine-- but the bracelet was nowhere to be found. Seventy years later, Colette-- who has "redistributed" $30 million in jewels over the decades-- has tried to leave behind her tragic past, but her life begins to unravel when the long-missing bracelet turns up in a museum exhibit in Boston. If Colette can discover where it has been all this time-- and who owns it now-- she may finally learn the truth about what happened to her sister. But she isn't the only one for whom the bracelet holds answers, and when someone from her childhood lays claim to the diamonds, she's forced to confront the ghosts of her past as never
