Book Chat: At Home in Mitford

Via text voting, we chose our next read, by vote: At Home in Mitford by Jan Karon

At Home in Mitford by Jan Karon introduces Father Tim, a 60-year-old bachelor Episcopal rector in the small, charming town of Mitford, NC

Feeling weary after 12 years of ministry, Father Tim considers retirement but finds renewed life through his quirky parishioners and new responsibilities including adopting a massive dog named Barnabas and caring for a troubled young boy named Dooley.
When the attractive author Cynthia Coppersmith moves in next door, a potential romance might spark for Father Tim.

For this meeting we will break the evening into three portions:
First we’ll start with chatting about the book, sharing our impressions and opinions, with a few questions to help prompt discussion.

Next we’ll have our “Cozy Life” bit, where we are all welcome to share our current inspiration for a warm, inviting and charming lifestyle - think: coziness show-and-tell!

Finally, we’ll end the night by deciding our next read!
Bring any ideas of cozy/comforting books to add to the ongoing, group TBR (to be read). To decide, we will use an elimination style vote. Then we’ll schedule our next meeting and get to reading!
