January's Middletown Book for Discussion: Lessons in Chemistry (Jan. 26)

 

The MUM Book Discussion group will next meet on Friday, January 26.  Our title is Bonnie Garmus' Lessons in Chemistry.  Here is a brief summary:

"Set in 1960s California, this blockbuster debut is the hilarious, idiosyncratic and uplifting story of a female scientist whose career is constantly derailed by the idea that a woman's place is in the home, only to find herself starring as the host of America's most beloved TV cooking show."  (publisher)

Here is where you can find the book:

• There are several copies available in Miami, OhioLINK, and SearchOhio libraries.  
  
• Amazon has the hardcover, paperback, and Kindle 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 Mad Honey, the group also shared these titles for consideration at their December 1 meeting:
