Bethlehem Library Book Club ( a library program) met on 7/10/23 in the community room. The discussion was led by volunteer Rebecca Hathaway for this July meeting. Each person brought a book or books that they would recommend to others. I discussed Yellowface, The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek (by Kim Michele Richardson), and Little Monsters (by Adrienne Brodeur). Individual participation was excellent and lively discussions ensued from the many books presented.

Transcendent Kingdom

I wanted to love this book as science and faith and their intersections are where I "live". But this book plunged into the world of addiction so heavily, that I felt like I needed an Al-Anon meeting while reading it. I don't say that lightly because I highly appreciate 12-step recovery groups. I thought this leaned heavily into the coming-of-age issues of how to disengage from mentally ill parents and restrictive churches. Because it was a look-backwards POV, I thought Gifty, being a Stanford student, would be intelligent enough to seek out other places of worship and come to terms with (while not approve of) the cultural issues in churches. To condemn God because of a few people seems.....unwise and unfair. Do we want God to smite every bad action or actor? Wouldn't that include each one of us? This is the inherent tension in Christianity. How do we continue to love? The attempt for Gifty to discover the answers to depression and addiction seems laudable but naive. How many millions of people have hoped to do just that? Maybe working with God and maybe through 12-step groups could move the needle? Nonetheless,I learned a lot about Ghana, the daily pain of immigration, and the bigotry endemic in AL.

I like dingoes at dinner time because I like when there is a wildfire and I also like when the famous Australian dogs chased after the mother kangaroo and threw her baby out out of her patch so she would be safe and I also like when the koala get saved by Annie and Annie says that she is so cute

It was really funny and I liked how the little sister wrote in the diary for most of the whole book because she stole it from her older sister.

The main character is Brystal Evergreen. In this book Brystal starts out as a normal girl. As a girl she liked to read books,but her kingdom doesn’t allow females to read. Since she can’t read she applies to a job at the library dusting . One day she finds a magical book.A couple days after she finds herself learning how to be a fairy and learning all kinds of magic,and she has many adventures after.I liked this book because it was entertaining,fun,and suspenseful. I didn't have one favorite part of the book because I liked all of it. There are also The Tale Of Witchcraft,and The Tale Of Sorcery if you are looking for more books like the Tale Of Magic.

I am not typically a psychological thriller reader, but this was recommended to me by a friend, and then, as I checked out, the librarian also commented on how good it was! This book did not disappoint. The book made me feel so many different emotions - sad, empathetic, angry, tense, anxious, hopeful, and scared. If you read it for nothing else, read it for the ending. It was jaw-dropping!
