Hello, Book Group! Please take this poll and help choose our November book selection. We are reading a BANNED BOOK. I will close the poll on October 10th - tally results and post book and meeting details!

2. Thousand Pieces of Gold..McCunn..overcoming slavery in Northern California...(The Reality of Gum San)
Millbrae ARC Book Group choices for Autumn 2022?
Previous suggestions? Selections already made?
I suggest
Island of the Blue Dolphins...O'Dell..(invite your kids to Santa Barbara) and
Thousand Pieces of Gold...McCunn...( Gum San Reality) overcoming slavery in Northern California.
Sorry....but I did NOT enjoy Crying in H Mart. To me (IMHO) it was less about Korean Generations in Northern California, and more about a Daughter's struggle with her love/hate/Korean Mother. Very important personally, but too personal to be historically teachable.
Thank you for the suggestion, JEffrey. I will add this to the list! We decided to read a "BANNED" book for November. Here is the poll - it's a tie right now, so we may just have a "reader's choice" and join as a group to talk about what we each read - why it is banned, and why it should be widely read! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/17Yg1j-zhvLhd5Sse6Mq669ew3oLTbogOUsx4pfbKmYg/edit
