Happy Holidays!!!

Hey Ladies!  It is that time of year where life gets crazy busy so we will be skipping December as a month to meet.  We will next meet on Thursday, January 17th at 7:00 pm at Kim's. We will be discussing A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens and Jacob T. Marley by R. William Bennett.  They are both short books.  If you only have a chance to listen to or read one, choose Jacob T. Marley.  A Christmas Carol is available for free to listen to and read through many sites as it is old enough to not have a copyright.  The libraries also have lots of copies or you can get it cheap through Amazon.   The library has several copies of Jacob T. Marley as book and book on CD.  We do not have an audio book of it through the library apps but it is available through Audible.  I have gone ahead and placed 9 copies of the book on hold and 1 book on CD on hold all under my daughter, Audrey's, name.  They will not be available until after December 10th as the Bountiful Library has  them all reserved for there book club that meets the beginning of December.  If you would like a copy, let me know and I can transfer a hold to your name or let you know when they start coming in as holds on my daughter's card and you can pick them up at the library.  Hope you all have a fantastic Thanksgiving and Christmas!  

"Marley was dead to begin with . . ."
These chillingly familiar words begin the classic Christmas tale of remorse and redemption in A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. Now R. William Bennett rewinds the story and focuses the spotlight on Scrooge's miserly business partner, Jacob T. Marley, who was allowed to return as a ghost to warn Scrooge away from his ill-fated path. Why was Marley allowed to return? And why hadn't he been given the same chance as Ebenezer Scrooge? 

Or had he? 

Written with a voice reminiscent of Dickens, Jacob T. Marley is a masterfully crafted story sure to become a Christmas favorite.
