Book Group
2026-05-18 19:00
The Book Group will meet Monday, May 18, at 7:00 p.m. in Room 131 to discuss Buckeye by Patrick Ryan, voted Amazon’s best book of 2025 and a New York Times bestseller.
Buckeye is “a multi-generational saga chock-full of secrets, lies, regrets, deception, and
drama.” “At once sweeping and intimate, Buckeye is about how life even in small town America is not insulated from the effects of massive world events. Beginning with World War II and ending in the 1980s, Ryan tells us the story of the uniquely American 20th century through the eyes of these two couples who become inextricably intertwined.” (Greg Zimmerman in The New Dork Review)
The Book Group is open to all and newcomers and guests are always welcome.

Mary Magdalene Revealed Book Discussion

This discussion group sponsored by St. Andrew’s Daughters of the King, is open to all. For the month of June, the group will be reading Mary Magdalene Revealed by Meggan Watterson and meeting in the library for discussion Wednesdays at 1 p.m.
In this Wall Street Journal bestseller, “Harvard-trained theologian Meggan Watterson leads us verse by verse through Mary’s gospel to illuminate the powerful teachings it contains.
“A gospel, as ancient and authentic as any of the gospels that the Christian bible contains, was buried deep in the Egyptian desert after an edict was sent out in the 4th century to have all copies of it destroyed. Fortunately, some rebel monks were wise enough to refuse-and thanks to their disobedience and spiritual bravery, we have several manuscripts of the only gospel that was written in the name of a woman: The Gospel of Mary Magdalene.” (Amazon listing)
Please contact Michele Marini (michelemarini@comcast.net) with any questions.
