January - The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

For 2022, every book will represent a theme of the month. January is about new beginnings and no one in literature may have had more new beginnings than Addie LaRue. This is a long book but most of us were able to finish it. It was all love and roses for everyone (although some did love it) but it certainly gave us plenty to talk about. For this book, we divided into teams and each team took turns having players pick A or B questions. A questions were worth more but harder to answer and almost everyone picked them. In the end, it came down to a tie, which meant is was just like the show Whose Line Is It Anyway, where the points don't matter. 

This one had us talking about religion, leaving a mark on the world, morality, and what we would give up for love. It was a rare fantasy book for our club which is proof that it's good to break out of routine now and again. 

Sadly, we're back to Zoom meetings, with CoVid numbers up again, which works ok for book discussions but makes chatting with each other harder. Thanks to Linda for getting the meeting set up again.
