LW Book Club to discuss New York Times bestseller novel

The Leisure World Book Club will meet at 1 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 18, in Clubhouse 3, Room 7. The book for discussion will be “Book Woman of Troublesome Creek,” by Kim Michelle Richardson.

This work of historical fiction was on the New York Times’ bestseller list.

The club had a good attendance for its December meeting when members discussed the novel “Cooking for Picasso,” by Michelle Aubray. The majority of people thought it was a good read. Many found it very insightful regarding the private life of one of the world’s most famous painters. “Max Perkins Editor of Genius,” by A. Scott Berg, has been selected for the February meeting. This is a National Book Award-winning biography of the man who introduced the public to the greatest writers of this century. — Dale Watkins
