June's Middletown Book for Discussion: The Night of Many Endings (June 2)


The MUM 
Book Discussion group will next meet on Friday, June 2.  Our title is Melissa Payne's The Night of Many Endings.  Here is a brief summary:


"As a winter storm buries Silver Ridge, Colorado, a collection of lonely hearts takes shelter in the library. They’ll discover more about each other, and themselves, than they ever knew. No matter how stranded in life they feel, this fateful night could be the new beginning they didn’t think was possible."  (publisher)

Here is where you can find the book:
  • There are several copies available in SearchOhio.  
  • Amazon has the hardcover, paperback, Kindle, and audiobook available, and Bookshop.org has links to purchase the title from independent booksellers.
Our group is always finding interesting titles to share, and we look forward to the new things you'll bring to the table.  In addition to discussing Dandelion Wine, the group also shared these titles for consideration at their May 5 meeting:
