June 23,2019 Circe (Jocelyn’s Pick)

Discussion:
Jocelyn- I loved this book! It was fun to use my imagination so much and I loved the language used. The tale was sad overall and the ending left it hanging. It was a super fun read. I would recommend. 4/5
Julie- Loved it! Brought back Greek mythology to my mind. Her island was a paradise. Would recommend. 4/5
Ali- Loved the book. Love mythology. This was fun. I knew the characters. Good length, hated the open ending. Would recommend. 4/5
Maren- Liked it. It was hard to get into, I don’t really like Greek mythology. Liked that she was old, but kept making mistakes. Would recommend to certain people. 3/5
Meriah- (Views from afar) The book was awesome. Been talking about it for weeks. Loved her trasition from young girl to having her own island. Would recommend. 4.2/5

Announcements:
Jocelyn- Jack DeBond’s suicide has been a shadow over our family. So, hard to guide our boy through this grieving process. Had to cancel our vacation for the service.
Ali- Justin and I had our first fight. He’s been groveling ever since.
Julie- Hernia surgery next month.
Maren- My boss is leaving in September. Not sure if they have a new pastor? My second job is in question. PTA president is kind of crazy.
