In February, the Wednesday book group discussed the book Prayers for Sale by Sandra Dallas. The main character in the book is a quilter in a mining town. To get into the spirit of the book, the book group learned how to tie a quilt. Each of them quilted as they talked about the book and also learned the history behind the quilt squares that had been passed down and given to a member of the group. This member also shared the story behind some of the 50-year-old squares that had been made from her relatives' shirts, dresses, and aprons.
This group reads a variety of books. Some of the favorite books they have discussed over the past five years include Elantris by Brandon Sanderson, Poison Study by Maria Snyder, The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer, and The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton.
The Marshall Public Library has four book discussion groups for adults that meet each month. The current titles and meeting times are listed in the newsletter or you may call the reader advisory desk at 232-1263 ext. 41. Feel free to drop by and join a discussion.
