2011 Reading List
Welcome to a new year of Roselle UMC Reads!
This year we are continuing with selecting six months worth of books, so that we can all plan ahead and know what to expect. The book choices through June are listed below.
Additionally, this year we are introducing book notes and a book rating system. Beth Thessen has volunteered to be our recorder, and will post group summaries and comments for each book. At each meeting, prior to the discussion, each member will be asked to rate the book on a five star scale. Five stars is the highest rating a member can give a book, and half stars are acceptable! Our group star rating will be posted along with the summaries and comments.
New members are always welcome at any meeting! We love to meet new people and a variety of opinions makes the discussions much more interesting.
We meet on the second Monday of each month at 7:00 p.m. The one exception for this year is the February meeting, which will be rescheduled for Valentine’s Day. We will post the alternative meeting date when the group comes to a consensus decision.

February The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls
March The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton
April The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien
