August 2023 - Book Discussion: The Wishing Game by Meg Shaffer

Hello Readrinkers!
Thank you to everyone who came to our last meeting. It was really fun getting to know new people and talking about the book (among other things). :D
Our next book discussion will be on Saturday, August 26, 2023 at 4:30 pm at Literato, Club de Té in Checoslovaquia and 6 de diciembre. Edif. Asimov.
We will discuss The Wishing Game by Meg Shaffer. And we will share our closing thoughts on July’s book: The Midnight Library by Matt Haig.

Here is the Goodreads summary:
Years ago, a reclusive mega-bestselling children’s author quit writing under mysterious circumstances. Suddenly he resurfaces with a brand-new book and a one-of-a-kind competition, offering a prize that will change the winner’s life in this absorbing and whimsical novel.
Make a wish. . . .
Lucy Hart knows better than anyone what it’s like to grow up without parents who loved her. In a childhood marked by neglect and loneliness, Lucy found her solace in books, namely the Clock Island series by Jack Masterson. Now a twenty-six-year-old teacher’s aide, she is able to share her love of reading with bright, young students, especially seven-year-old Christopher Lamb, who was left orphaned after the tragic death of his parents. Lucy would give anything to adopt Christopher, but even the idea of becoming a family seems like an impossible dream without proper funds and stability.
But be careful what you wish for. . . .
. . . You might just get it.

As a reminder, you can still bring whatever you want to drink (alcoholic or not) to the meeting. If you prefer, there are cocktails and tea available for purchase at Literato. Also, note that there is NO cover, so if you just want to bring your own drink and discuss the book with us in a relaxed environment you are free to do that and as usual, our discussion will be in English.
If you have any questions, you can contact us in the comments or at 0960048520.
We hope to see you there!
