Austintown library’s Page Turners book club met in the library’s meeting room on Sept. 20.
The Page Turners all read different stories of various genres, as opposed to some of the library’s other clubs that have more structure, such as the Tea and Mystery book club that reads different mystery novels or the Chapter Chat who all read the same novel together.
The group discussed whatever they happened to read that month, which included the authors Adriana Trigiani, Sue Grafton, Carole Nelson Douglas and Louise Penny this month. The members of the club either recommended or did not recommend books to each other.
The club used humor throughout their conversations. Some talked about liking silly books with absurd concepts. Others used their wit to slam some novels or authors. Because the conversations are based on stories, the group made a couple literature-based jokes, such as a member saying Louise Penny’s novel made “Waiting for Godot“ look action-packed.
Librarian Starr Jones led this month’s discussion, but Andrea Zupcsan usually heads the book club. The group will meet next on Oct. 18.
