We had a fun Zoom discussion of Yesteryear by Claire Caro Burke, our first group read! Thank you to everyone who came. I appreciate you! 🧡 Once it's processed, I'll post the AI summary of the discussion so others can join in the conversation. In the meantime, what are you reading this weekend? I'm still reading The Book of Goose by Yiyun Li.

You may have heard of Eng and Chang Bunker, 19th century conjoined twins born in what was then called Siam (now Thailand). They moved to North Carolina and married two sisters. Of course, that's a pretty intriguing premise for a novel. One that could go south pretty quickly if handled poorly. The reviews here indicate that this new novel handles the subject matter well: The Foursome by Christina Baker Kline Does this sound like something you might read?

I'm reading The Book of Goose by Yiyun Lee. This is the publisher's description: "Fabienne is dead. Her childhood best friend, Agnès, receives the news in America, far from the French countryside where the two girls were raised—the place that Fabienne helped Agnès escape ten years ago. Now Agnès is free to tell her story. As children in a war-ravaged backwater town, they’d built a private world, invisible to everyone but themselves—until Fabienne hatched the plan that would change everything, launching Agnès on an epic trajectory through fame, fortune, and terrible loss." I'm loving it so far!
