Hummingbird Book Club

Posted on Sep 19th, 2024

Busy, fun summer reads for all. We started with Tom Lake by Ann Patchett, then in July we had a local read, Dispatches from Pluto. July was followed by one of my favorite authors, Alexander McCall Smith, from the #1 Women’s detective series, How to Raise an Elephant. Lastly, a fiction, maybe nonfiction wanna be, by Brian Kilmeade and Don Yeager, George Washington’s Secret Six, the spy ring that saved the American Revolution. Basically a poor man’s Hamilton, the George Washington Secret 6, grappled with the risks and benefits of counterintelligence means in the 18th century as America was born. Sometimes hard to follow, the book did illuminate the grit and dedication of six spies (only one well placed female) instrumental in our forefather’s success in breaking away from England.

In addition, a few of us got together to enjoy the MS Book Festival, scouring the offerings and panels for our next great reads. It is that time of year again…Time for us to cull a list of next year’s reads and activities. For those of you who haven’t joined us yet, don’t be shy. Join us. Meet or bring a neighbor. Explore a book that stretches, informs, and sparks empathy, joy, and appreciation for neighbors worlds away.

Thursday, August 26
6:30 pm - 8 pm at the Martinique Clubhouse
What to Bring: Bottle of wine and an appetizer (optional)
Book: On a Night of a Thousand Stars by Andrea Yaryura Clark.

Hope to see you there. As always, bring a friend. Optional

Roughleaf dogwood (Cornus drummondii) is putting out white berries for songbirds now.

The leaves turn a scarlet red for fall and winter. In springtime, branches flush out with bright green leaves and fragrant white blossoms for pollinators.
