TeeAway Book Club

The TeeAway Book Club is open book club-- anyone is welcome, join for one meeting, be a regular, or come when you can. Meetings take place once a month with a fairly regular format--
5:00 pm on each meeting date, enjoy conversation and a beverage. Discussion begins at 5:30 and usually lasts an hour. Participants often continue conversation over dinner or a beverage. 

Book selections are scheduled several months in advance, taking in a range of bestsellers, mysteries, historical novels, and nonfiction. Selections are chosen based on interest, varying what we read, and availability-- if there are not copies at that library, the book is generally not chosen for the group. 

Click for list of over 75 books this group has read and discussed.

5:00-5:30 pm for socializing, discussion starts at 5:30.

Books & Dates

Anxious People   by Fredric Backman
Thursday, September 16th

The storyline-- after a failed bank robbery attempt, the would-be-robber takes a group of random (emphasis on random!) people hostage at an apartment showing. Each has their own set of issues and anxieties, including the officers sent in for the rescue.  

As with all Backman novels, there is a deeper sentiment in play... characters come to an understanding, grievances are put aside, life is renewed, faith is restored. But these messages are subtle, leaving the reader with a satisfied smile when the last chapter is finished. ​
