What our book groups are reading:
"Just the Facts", our non-fiction group:
Lives in Ruins
 Lives in Ruins: Archaeologists and the Seductive Lure of Human Rubble by Marilyn Johnson  

Johnson tracks archaeologists around the globe from the Caribbean to the Mediterranean, from Newport, Rhode Island, to Machu Picchu. She digs alongside experts on an eighteenth-century sugar plantation and in a first-century temple to Apollo. She hunts for bodies with forensic archaeologists in the vast and creepy Pine Barrens of New Jersey, drinks beer with an archaeologist of ancient beverages, and makes stone tools like a caveman. By turns amusing and profound, Lives in Ruins, with its wild cast of characters, finds new ways to consider what is worth salvaging from our past. 
 
Join us to discuss this unique glimpse into archaeology on Tuesday, October 25 at 6:00pm. 
"Second Tuesday", our fiction group:

The Marriage of Opposites
From the New York Times bestselling author of

Tired of current events?
Here are a couple of items to inspire you for Halloween: From MentalFloss " Airbnb Is Offering Two Guests a Stay in Dracula's Castle on Halloween Night" and from Flavorwire, " The Creepiest Book Covers".

From BuzzFeed, we have " Can You Guess The Famous Book Without Its Title Or Author?". I got 100%, but that's really not fair because I order the books. (This is Joy).

Last from the New York Times, " Are You There? It's Me, Reality: Grit Returns to Young-Adult Novels"; dystopian is out and grit is in.

Mahalo and a hui hou,

Joy and Brenda (Owners)
