About the Good Living Book Club
The book club will meet monthly, on the third Sunday of the month, January - May and September - December. Led by Gail Eckwright. Each month we will talk about a book related to good food, good health, good work, good neighbors and friends, or just plain good life in general! Some of these books offer guidance or caveats on how to achieve these “goods;” others provide examples of lives well-lived or perhaps cautionary tales. You will find memoirs, how-tos, manifestos, and fiction among the book club selections. All have the potential to stimulate lively conversation.
All books are available for purchase from Bookpeople of Moscow or from other commercial sources. I am able to order up to 4 copies of a title from Bookpeople, to be purchased by club members at a discount; but remember, some publishers’ books are not discountable. This link provides more information about the book club ordering and discount program through Bookpeople: https://www.bookpeopleofmoscow.com/book-clubs
If you choose to purchase a book club title through Bookpeople, keep in mind that a maximum of 4 copies will be available at the 15% discount. Most titles are available for e-readers and in audiobook formats through other commercial sources, as well. Be sure to check local libraries for specific titles, too.
