June's Middletown Book for Discussion: By Any Other Name (June 27)

 

The MUM Book Discussion group will next meet on Friday, June 27.  Our title is By Any Other Name by Jodi Picoult.  Here is a brief summary:

"A captivating novel about two women, centuries apart, fighting to be heard - one of whom may be the real author of Shakespeare's plays."  (publisher)

Here is where you can find the book:

• There are several copies available in Miami and SearchOhio libraries (with the OhioLINK suspension until June 23, you may still use your Miami credentials to request books from any Miami campus. SearchOhio is still operating, but requests must be made using your public library card number (and delivered to your local public library)).  
  
• 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 Honor, the group also shared these titles for consideration at their May 30 meeting:
