BOOK NOTES

Tuesday, June 8th at 1:00 PM End of Newcomers’ year Book Club Luncheon will take place at Papa’s Pier 17 at 15 Rowan (753-7692) in the vicinity of Churchill Square, which offers ample parking. Please call Hana 738-0266 to make a reservation prior to Friday, June 4th. Apart from enjoying a pleasant meal, we will discuss Eriksdottir and The Secret Scripture, as well as our future plan and suggestions for summer reading. If you would like to exchange books in Chinese auction, bring a book of your choice wrapped as a present. Honestly, it is not meant to be a competition in wrapping artistry, it is only to make the book anonymous until the ceremonial unwrapping. Readers of the Evening Book Club are welcome to join us.
