September - Book Pick & Date



For September's book club pick, we will be participating in One Maryland One Book, so we will be reading The Cellist of Sarajevo by Steven Galloway. One Maryland One Book is a great program to promote literacy within our own state. Ideally, the program is put together to get everyone to read the same book at the same time. I am personally really excited about our book club reading this in conjunction with OMOB.



I have signed our club up to be listed as an Official OMOB Partner, and therefore, we will receive free reader's guides and bookmarks. These should be in by the time our book club meets.


The author will be speaking at the Baltimore Book Festival on
September 30, 2012 at noon. Before we head over to see the author talk, let's meet for brunch and have our own discussion of the book. We'll meet at B&O Brasserie (inside of the Hotel Monaco) at 10am. Afterward, we'll head over to the book festival. If you can only make one of these events, please be sure to specify in your RSVP, so I can make an accurate reservation for brunch.


You can get the book at Amazon (for around $10), most local bookstores, or check it out from the Enoch Pratt Free Library system.

I look forward to seeing you in September and thank you for making this book club a success!
