LITWITS
TueSdAY, APRIL 14
WELCOME TO THE JOY OF SPRING READING
Zoom will meet on Tuesday, April 14, at 4:00 pm (Sue Fox will send out a link and a reminder the day before), and the in-person, potluck-dinner meeting will begin at 6:30 pm, at Nanette Wehe’s welcoming home in Castro Valley. Do join us, if you can, for great food, warm fellowship, and our always interesting discussion. Be sure to let Nanette know as soon as possible that you will be attending and what tasty appetizer, main dish, side or dessert you will be bringing.
For the April meeting, please read The Brightwood Code, by Monica Hesse. Hesse’s young adult novel is an exciting tale for readers of all ages. It brings the story of a young “Hello Girl” working with the American Expeditionary Forces in France in WWI. Edda St. James comes home from the Front with a troubling secret and needs to rectify her past. Enjoy this riveting book that is part historical fiction, part mystery and part love story.
If you wish to get ahead a bit, pick up My Friends, by Fredrik Backman which we will discuss in May.
