Book Club

When the LWSB Book Club met on March 17, 13 people, including four newcomers to the group, discussed with flair and gusto the books “Snow Falling on Cedars,” by David Guterson; “I Am Malala,” by Malala Yousafzie; and “Where the Crawdads Sing,” by Dela Owens. The book chosen to be read in April was “Hillbilly Elegy,” an autobiography by J.D. Vance, thanks to a recommendation by Kathy Yamamoto. For May, Dody Polinski suggested the thriller/ suspense novel “Look Again,” by Lisa Scottoline. And June’s selection, recommended by Cynthia Stone, is the true-crime biography “A Woman of No Importance,” by Sonia Parnell.

The club thanks its president, Thomas Gan, for the “reader books” from the library that were giveaways. “His hard work and generosity to the club is above and beyond,” says Secretary Pamela Emmons.

The group will meet again on April 21 from 1-3 p.m. in Clubhouse 3, Room 7. Anyone who has questions, comments, concerns or suggestions regarding the club should contact Gan at gltjiook@gmail. com or (562) 248-8711.
