What up Bookworms! Notice how instantaneous this post was... Our Last MeetingHope y'all had fun reading/discussing/watching Murder, She Wrote. I actually loved it - and I thought we had a great discussion. Our Next MeetingOur next meeting will be on Sunday, December 4th (not on Saturday due to a shared conflict) from 1:00 to 3:00 at Lily's house.
We will be discussing Because You'll Never Meet Me by Leah Thomas. A fabulous book, if I do say so myself. Ollie and Moritz are best friends, but they can never meet. Ollie is allergic to electricity. Contact with it causes debilitating seizures. Moritz’s weak heart is kept pumping by an electronic pacemaker. If they ever did meet, Ollie would seize. But Moritz would die without his pacemaker. Both hermits from society, the boys develop a fierce bond through letters that become a lifeline during dark times—as Ollie loses his only friend, Liz, to the normalcy of high school and Moritz deals with a bully set on destroying him. A story of impossible friendship and hope under strange circumstances, this debut is powerful, dark and humorous in equal measure. These extraordinary voices bring readers into the hearts and minds of two special boys who, like many teens, are just waiting for their moment to shine. Enjoy, and hope to see you there! ~ Prez Grace
