December Book Club/White Elephant Book Exchange

Welcome, readers! ❄️

Our December read is A Quiet Life by Ethan Joella.

A Quiet Life by Ethan Joella is a tender, character-driven novel that follows three people in a small Pennsylvania town as they each cope with loss and seek connection. Chuck, a widower, struggles to find meaning after his wife’s death; Ella, a young woman, faces the heartbreak of her missing daughter; and Kirsten, a veterinary technician, grieves her father while contemplating her future. Their stories intertwine gently, revealing how grief and hope coexist—and how even small acts of kindness can help people rediscover purpose and peace in the aftermath of tragedy.

Looking forward to discussing with everyone!

At this meeting, our third annual White Elephant book exchange will take place!

If you'd like to participate, bring a gift-wrapped book that you already own. On the gift wrap, write the genre of the book.

We will meet at Zaftig Brewing Co in their event room in the back. We are welcome to bring in our own food, but drinks must be purchased at the bar.

Happy reading! 📖
