I have just finished compiling next year's book discussion list and thought people might be interested in some of the books that didn't make our list this time:
City of Thieves by David Benioff a story set in Leningrad (St Petersburg) during the siege of WWII. Based on a true story told to the author by his grandfather. During a time of great famine and hardship, two young men are tasked with finding enough eggs to make a wedding cake....
Child 44 by Tom Rob Smith - a murder mystery set in the Moscow area. Also, based on a true story about the first known serial killer in Soviet Russia.
O' Pioneers by Willa Cather - I just love her writing. I don't know why I didn't put this on. Maybe next year.
The Road by Cormac McCarthy - Scary! Read it before the movie comes out.
That's just a few of the great books we checked out for the group. If you are traveling for the holidays they are even better in audio. Enjoy.
