HVLA Book Club: A Big Success!

Many thanks to those of you that were able to make it out to our inaugural YA/Kidlit book club last Tuesday.  We had lots of fun discussing John Green's The Fault in Our Stars.  Also, a big thank you to Karyn Silverman at Elizabeth Irwin High School for hosting.


Save the date for our next book club...

Date/Time: Tuesday, March 6th at 5:30pm rescheduled for Wednesday, March 14th at 5:30pm

Location:
Elisabeth Irwin High School
(btwn 6th Ave & Varick)

What We're Reading:
Beneath a Meth Moon: An Elegy by Jaqueline Woodson



What Else We're Reading: The Lions of Little Rock by Kristen Levine

Due to the fact that our main title is very short and so many of you are naturally voracious readers, we wanted to offer a second (optional) title that has been getting lots of great reviews.  For those of you who are ambitious and interested  please join us!

  1. I thought this was pretty powerful. Made me think of "Beneath a Meth Moon." Check out Chris Arnade's "Faces of Addiction" : http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/02/20/telling-the-stories-of-hunts-point-one-portrait-at-a-time/
