December Book Club & Book Exchange- The Holidays are (Chick) LIT!

Our boom will be The Gift of the Magpie by Donna Andrews. We will meet at Union Station and go to one of the three Christmas pop ups there.

Bring a book you have enjoyed and want to share- it can be new or used. You’ll wrap it up so no one will know which book you brought. Everyone will get a chance to pick a new-to-them book to take home!

The rules:

1. Each book must be wrapped.
2. On the package the following must be written:
   - 3 keywords or phrases that describe the characters or plot
   - a quote from the book
3. We'll draw numbers and each person gets to pick a book numerical order.
4. You can steal a book from someone, but a book may only be stolen once!
5. After everyone has had a turn and stolen books, you may open your book!

New York Times bestselling author Donna Andrews returns with another Meg Langslow mystery written "firmly in the grand tradition of Agatha Christie's Christmas books" (Toronto Globe and Mail).

The 28th book and the seventh Christmas mystery in the Meg Langslow series, The Gift of the Magpie is yet another wonderfully merry and funny book from New York Times bestselling author Donna Andrews.

Meg’s running Caerphilly’s Helping Hands for the Holidays project, in which neighbors help each other with things they can’t do and can’t afford to have done. Her hopes for a relatively peaceful (if busy) Christmas vanish when someone murders Harvey the Hoarder, whose house the Helping Hands were decluttering. Was there any truth to the rumor that he had something valuable hidden beneath all his junk? Was one of his friends, neighbors, or relatives greedy enough to murder him for the rumored treasure? And what about the magpie that has been bringing her family bits of tinsel and costume jewelry―does the bird’s latest gift hold a clue to solving the crime?

Full of intrigue, this Christmas mystery will take readers home to Caerphilly, where the suspense falls as thick as the snow.
