Join us Online! September's Middletown Book for Discussion: H is for Hawk

The MUM Book Discussion group will next meet on Tuesday, September 29.  We're moving back to discussing a single book this month (though we always welcome recommendations of other books you're reading, too). Our title is Helen Macdonald's H is for Hawk.  Here is a brief summary of this tale of hawks and healing:

"Heart-wrenching and humorous, this book is an unflinching account of bereavement and a unique look at the magnetism of an extraordinary beast, with a parallel examination of a legendary writer's eccentric falconry. Obsession, madness, memory, myth, and history combine to achieve a distinctive blend of nature writing and memoir from an outstanding literary innovator.  "  

Here is where you can find the book:

• The Miami University Libraries have three copies available (including one at the Gardner-Harvey Library).  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.
• There are several copies available through OhioLINK and SearchOhio.  
• Amazon has the paperback, Kindle, and audiobook available.

Our group is always finding interesting titles to share, and we look forward to the new things you'll bring to the table.  On August 25th, we mainly covered Will and Testament, but members of the group also shared these titles to add to your reading/viewing lists:
