Atascocita Library Advanced Copy

PJ and Bonnie discuss books they've read recently including The Sleeping Beauties by Suzanne O'Sullivan and Buddy: how a rooster made me a family man by Brian McGrory.  Lit Chat meets in person as well, the second Tuesday of each month at 1 pm at the Atascocita Branch Library. 

Hidden gems of programming and databases, this month we talk about the library's resources that don't always get the limelight.  Also, more upcoming programs for all ages in the month of February!

PJ and Bonnie do their best not to spoil the suspenseful story of The Lost Apothecary by Sarah Penner.  Join in the discussion!

 

Novel Summary from Goodreads:

A female apothecary secretly dispenses poisons to liberate women from the men who have wronged them - setting three lives across centuries on a dangerous collision course.

Rule #1: The poison must never be used to harm another woman.
Rule #2: The names of the murderer and her victim must be recorded in the apothecary’s register.

Atascocita staff are "ringing in the new year!"  We talk about music, programs that have music, how music impacts our health, and how music is interwoven in our lives -- with staff talking about specific artists and musical memories.
