Join us Online! October's Middletown Book for Discussion: 44 Scotland Street



The MUM Book Discussion group will next meet on Tuesday, October 27.  Our title is Alexander McCall Smith's 44 Scotland Street.  Here is a brief summary of this tale of Scottish life and an art mystery:

"When Pat rents a room in Edinburgh, she acquires some interesting neighbors--including a pushy Stockbridge mother and her talented, sax-playing, five-year-old son. Her job at an art gallery hardly keeps her busy until she suspects one painting in the collection may be an undiscovered work by a Scottish master."  

Here is where you can find the book:
  • There are several copies available through OhioLINK and SearchOhio.  We are back in the library and have both OhioLINK deliveries and statewide delivery from Search Ohio's public libraries running.   We do have our curbside pickup operating as well as in-house pickup.
  • Amazon has the paperback, Kindle, and audiobook available.
Just to let you know a bit early, we have also picked our next book as well.  Our November date will move into December due to Thanksgiving, so on Tuesday, December 1, we will discuss Erik Larson's The Splendid and the Vile.  It is available from MiamiOhioLINK, and SearchOhio
 
Our group is always finding interesting titles to share, and we look forward to the new things you'll bring to the table.  On September 29th, the members of the group also shared these titles to add to your reading/viewing lists:
