AGENDA:

1. Short introductions (name, pronouns, one thing you liked about the book)
2. Discussion of THE INVISIBLE LIFE OF ADDIE LARUE
3. Deciding on November title*

THE INVISIBLE LIFE OF ADDIE LARUE was nominated for a Locus Award in 2021.

"France, 1714: in a moment of desperation, a young woman makes a Faustian bargain to live forever and is cursed to be forgotten by everyone she meets.

Thus begins the extraordinary life of Addie LaRue, and a dazzling adventure that will play out across centuries and continents, across history and art, as a young woman learns how far she will go to leave her mark on the world.

But everything changes when, after nearly 300 years, Addie stumbles across a young man in a hidden bookstore and he remembers her name."

If you intend to read a library copy of THE INVISIBLE LIFE OF ADDIE LARUE, I would recommend requesting one as soon as possible, since the book is rather popular!
