Book: THIS BOOK MADE ME THINK OF YOU by Libby Page

Genre: Contemporary Fiction / Bookish Fiction

Recently widowed Tilly Nightingale receives an unexpected birthday gift from her late husband: twelve carefully chosen books, one for each month of her first year without him. As the books lead her into new experiences, friendships, and adventures, Tilly begins to find her way through grief and back into the world. Warm, funny, and filled with books, THIS BOOK MADE ME THINK OF YOU explores grief, friendship, love, and the ways stories can help us navigate difficult seasons of life. A heartfelt love letter to readers and a wonderful choice for book club discussion.

We’ll gather for a themed meal and a focused, engaging discussion.
