We begin the last post of 2021 with my favorite book of the year. In honor of World Read Aloud Day, author Kate Albus will virtually meet with us on Wednesday, February 2, 2022 at 8 am in the BMS library. Get a copy for yourself and join us, BMS students! In fact, if you pop into your local bookstore and say you need it for our book club, you can get a 20% discount. Whether you join us or not, I highly recommend reading this delicious tale set during World War II in England. It is the perfect read.
