Happy Bookers Discussion Group: Did You Ever Have a Family Wednesday, January 27, 7:00pm On the eve of her daughter’s wedding, June Reid’s life is completely devastated when a shocking disaster takes the lives of her daughter, her daughter’s fiancé, her ex-husband, and her boyfriend, Luke–her entire family, all gone in a moment. And June is the only survivor. Alone and directionless, June drives across the country, away from her small Connecticut town. In her wake, a community emerges, weaving a beautiful and surprising web of connections through shared heartbreak. From the couple running a motel on the Pacific Ocean where June eventually settles into a quiet half-life, to the wedding’s caterer whose bill has been forgotten, to Luke’s mother, the shattered outcast of the town–everyone touched by the tragedy is changed as truths about their near and far histories finally come to light. Multiple copies of the book are available for reserve. This event will be held on Zoom. Click here to register. See the Happy Bookers webpage for more information.

SAVE THE DATE: Classic Book Club Tuesday, February 9, 7:00pm
“Classic” books are classic for a reason – their literary excellence transcends passing fads, and they continue to engage readers generation after generation. If there are classics you have always meant to read “someday,” or if you read them in school before you were ready to appreciate them, now is the time to enjoy them with other adult readers. This month we're reading This Side of Paradise by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

With the start of the New Year comes the resolutions. Mine often includes trying to eat healthier. But it's January and the weather begs for comfort foods. This recipe for Cheddar Chicken Chowder fits both of these needs. I like that this is simple to prepare and doesn't require exotic ingredients. I originally found this in a Cooking Light magazine years ago, and it quickly became a dinner my family asks for often. The magazine is no longer published, but there are several Cooking Light cookbooks in the library collection. Click here for the recipe!
