The Shelby County Book Group meets on the 2nd Tuesday of each month, 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm, via Zoom.

If you would like to join our group, please contact Brenda Harris at addiesgranna@gmail.com.

This month, Blythe Christensen will lead a discussion of “The Book Thief” by Markus Zuzak.  “In 1939 Nazi Germany, Liesel’s life is changed when she picks up a single object, partially hidden in the snow. It is The Gravedigger’s Handbook, left behind there by accident, and it is her first act of book thievery. So begins a love affair with books and words, as Liesel, with the help of her accordian-playing foster father, learns to read. Soon she is stealing books from Nazi book-burnings, the mayor’s wife’s library, wherever there are books to be found.”
