Change for May Reading


My Antonia by Willa Cather at the home of Margaret L., led by Rebecca B.There are many copies in the library, including electronic copies.  And I bought mine at Half-Price Books store for under $3, and there were lots of copies there as well.
 
So we need a book for June. In reviewing the list of some of the books that we didn't choose  in January, I think I've spotted a good one.  Doerte recommended a book by Camilla Gibbs (Most of us have read and loved Gibb's Sweetness in the Belly). It's got a great title, great author, and great recommender: The Beauty of Humanity Movement. It's 320 pages. There are 6 available on the library shelves... also electronic version and 2 audio books from the library.  It is pretty cheap used from amazon.comhalf.com, and ebay (80 cents to $3.88). More expensive at powells.com.
 
There were a couple of other books mentioned yesterday that I didn't write down. If someone wants to check our their availability and add them to the potential list, do that this week and then we can vote via email.  This will most likely be led by Margaret Leeds at Rebecca's house, June 1, so Margaret can have several votes! And Doerte could weigh in on this since she may be the only one who has read it.  
 
And finally, Betty Lynn read the January selection for next year about Hedy Lamarr and nixed it; she doesn't think we will like it, so let's let it go.
