Join us at Island Books for the summer edition of our quarterly Book Club Gatherings. Our book club is a space for women to come together, discuss books, share our love of reading, meet new friends and re-connect with old friends.
All of our reading selections will be available for purchase at Island Books with a 10% discount if you mention that you are part of The Gathering’s Book Club.
For our Summer meeting, we will be discussing the book Maybe Next Time by Cesca Major. This is a heartwarming and emotionally poignant time-loop novel about a stressed woman who must relive the same day over and over, keeping her family and work life from imploding as she attempts to change the course of her life.
Here are some questions to consider when you read the book:
Do you believe in fate? Do you think we can do anything to fight the inevitable?
Was there a particular character in this book you could relate to and why?
All the stats show that in the U.S., despite women making up 50% of the workforce, they still consistently take on the majority of unpaid work at home. Do you think we could do more to address this as a society?
Has the book made you reflect on any changes you’d like to make in your own life?
We encourage you to bring a copy of the book to the meeting, as well as any wine or snacks you would like to share with the group. We are so excited to have you join us!
