ONE BOOK TWO VILLAGES
Sept
10 Elizabeth Berg Meet Author
With over 4 million copies of her books in print, bestselling author Elizabeth Berg has written more than 20 novels, two collections of short stories, and two nonfiction books. Warm without being sentimental, optimistic without being cloying, and eminently readable, Berg has been praised for “her ability to find the extraordinary in the ordinary, the remarkable in the everyday” (The Boston Globe).
The Book A group of women in Mason, Missouri discover that best friends are made by sharing secrets. It all started as a supper club, a group gathering monthly to share homemade dinners, until the night one woman made a startling revelation. After that, the "Confession Club" decided to meet weekly to feast not only on dinner, but on admissions of misdeeds, embarrassments, and insecurities. When Iris Winters and Maddy Harris are invited to the club, they find that it's just what each of them needs. Iris hasn't yet told anyone about the unlikely man who has captured her attention, and Maddy has come back home to escape a problem too big for her to confront.
The Confession Club is a heartwarming and illuminating book about women, friendship, and how sharing the secrets we're afraid of revealing can actually bring us closer.
“Before I became a writer, I was a registered nurse for ten years, and that was my ‘school’ for writing—taking care of patients taught me a lot about human nature, about hope and fear and love and loss and regret and triumph and especially about relationships—all things that I tend to focus on in my work.” –Elizabeth Berg
Her books include the Oprah Book Club Selection Open House, The Tapestry of Fortunes, The Dream Lover, Home Safe and The Last Time I Saw You. Recent novels include The Story of Arthur Truluv, its follow up, Night of Miracles, and her latest The Confession Club, all set in the community of Mason, Missouri. Three of her novels have been made into films, and many have been New York Times bestsellers. Up next in October 2020 she will release I’ll Be Seeing You: A Memoir which follows the emotional and physical challenges of caring for her aging parents. Berg has been honored with the NEBA Award, and her writing has appeared in numerous publications, including Ladies’ Home Journal, Redbook, and The New York Times Magazine.
Join us September 10 at the Community House Cocktail Party Reception 6PM | Tickets $50
Lecture General Admission 7:30PM | Tickets $15
Meet Elizabeth Berg and enjoy an open bar and unlimited appetizers from 6-7:30pm. Reception ticket includes reserved seating for the 7:30pm lecture and book signing.

STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Mysteries Melissa Morgan, Librarian 1. Bluebird, Bluebird by Attica Locke 2. Magpie Murders by Anthony Horowitz 3. The Lost Man by Jane Harper 4. Before the Fall by Noah Hawley Spotlight Review Into the Fire by Gregg Hurwitz. This is the 4th in Hurwitz’s Orphan X series. It’s a fast-paced thriller with Orphan X aka Evan Smoak who atones for his past by helping strangers in need. Those strangers are often in extreme peril and Smoak’s skills as an assassin come in handy. In this installment, Smoak
solves one problem only to discover it linked to another and another and another. It’s good fun to read, especially his interactions with the regular people who live in his building.

Great Read! One of the library services that gives our staff great joy (and we hope you, too!), is connecting readers with their next great read. We love to talk about books, get to know our patrons' preferences and tailor our suggestions to fit their interests. Some of our staff put together lists that we hope you’ll enjoy. Happy reading!
Recent Under-The-Radar Releases Courtney Volny, Branch Services Coordinator 1. Hi Five by Joe Ide 2. The Last Time I Saw You by Liv Constantine 3. Eileen by Ottessa Moshfegh 4. Then She Was Gone by Lisa Jewell Spotlight Review The Reckless Oath We Made by Bryn Greenwood. Zee is a six-foot-tall redhead with a shattered hip and a bad temper. Her older sister is taken hostage during a prison break and it is up to Zee to take care of her nephew, her ailing mother, and her own fear. Zee is helped by a man named Gentry, and the two of them forge a unique bond while Zee tries to figure out what happened to her sister. I do not have enough praise for this book! It was beautiful, touching, and bittersweet. The friendship that is created between Zee and Gentry is hands down the best relationship I have read in a book this year.

If You’re New to Audiobooks Sydney Clark, Library Associate 1. Untamed by Glennon Doyle 2. Home Work by Julie Andrews 3. Stories I Only Tell My Friends by Rob Lowe 4. Talking to Strangers by Malcolm Gladwell 5. Becoming by Michelle Obama 6. Daisy Jones and the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid Spotlight Review What I Talk About When I Talk About Running by Haruki Murakami. This audiobook had a great narrator (not the author) and was a great peek inside the head of an author. While the book is about Murakami's "hobby" of long-distance running, it also shed a lot of insight into his writing process. I am neither a runner, nor a writer, but found both aspects fascinating and inspiring!

The Power by Naomi Alderman 5. The Girl with Seven Names by Hyeonseo Lee Spotlight Review My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She’s Sorry by Fredrik Backman. Elsa is seven years old when she loses her best friend – her grandmother. She takes off on an adventure spurred by letters left by her grandma where she finds the impossible waiting behind every door. This is a charming story full of fairy tales, devotion, and learning it is okay to be different.
