Is one of your goals reading more in the new year? Join the Page Turner’s Book Club.
February’s book is the novel “Bel Canto,” by Ann Patchett, which we are discussing on Thursday, February 6 at noon to 1 pm in the Campus Center library. You are welcome to join us; bring your lunch if you like. Our book selections include both fiction and nonfiction. Come for one discussion or several. And you are welcome to come if you didn’t read the book.

In June’s special get-together of the Page Turners’ Book Club, we reviewed “Memoirs of Mexico and Motorcycling” by Clifton Melby, who was the father of our very own Erin Crawford. Clifton enjoyed attending services at ULC when he was in AZ for the winter. He was an avid motorcyclist and loved to tell stories. It was an honor getting to know him better through his adventurous memoir!
The Page Turners’ Book Club is an informal group that meets monthly, alternating between fiction and non-fiction books. We gather at University Lutheran Church in the Campus Center Library, usually on the first Thursday of the month from noon to 1 pm. You can bring your lunch, if you want. You don’t need to read the book to participate!
We are always seeking new members. Look at all these friendly, smiley faces! Please consider joining; reading feeds the soul! All are welcome.
