The MUM Book Discussion group will next meet on Wednesday, July 23.  Our title is Be Ready When the Luck Happens by Ina Garten.  Here is a brief summary:

"Ina Garten, the author of thirteen best-selling cookbooks, beloved Food Network personality, Instagram sensation, and the cultural icon whose face has launched a thousand memes, shares her personal story with readers hungry for a seat at her table."  (publisher)

Here is where you can find the book:
  • There are several copies available in Miami and OhioLINK, and SearchOhio libraries.  
  • Amazon has the hardcover, paperback, and Kindle available, and Bookshop.org has links to purchase the title from independent booksellers.
