The next meeting of the CSM daytime book club will be Thursday, April 21 at 10 am.  Our selection for April is The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak.  It is available at Amazon for $8.99 in the Kindle edition and $7.60 for the paperback.  There are 5 copies available in the New Orleans Public Library and 16 available at the Jefferson library.

About the book from Amazon: “It is 1939. Nazi Germany. The country is holding its breath. Death has never been busier, and will become busier still. Liesel Meminger is a foster girl living outside of Munich, who scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can’t resist–books. With the help of her accordion-playing foster father, she learns to read and shares her stolen books with her neighbors during bombing raids as well as with the Jewish man hidden in her basement.”
