Blog Back on Track; Local Author Jess Walter

 I am going to catch up the Read Book List from out book club.  I may have missed a couple but we did have a bit of a hiatus due to Covid.  Thanks to Maura for now hosting our Zoom meetings.

For our next book we have selected Jess Walter's Cold Millions. It should be a good one!

Our last meeting went well and everyone loved The House on the Cerulean Sea. We agreed it was nice to be reading books that are lighter in nature like our last two have been.


"The Cold Millions: A Novel by Jess Walter was a sprawling historical fiction novel taking place in the early 1900s primarily in the state of Washington as there was a national movement and an uprising of the unions working for better wages and workers' safety as well as the continued movement of women's suffrage rights. At the fore of this tale are the endearing Dolan brothers, Ryan and Gregory, or Rye and Gig."
