January: Remarkably Bright Creatures: A Novel by Shelby Van Pelt, 2022
A New York Times readers’ choice: “One of the best books of the 21st century -So far! A charming, witty and compulsively readable exploration of friendship, reckoning and hope that traces a widow’s unlikely connection with a giant Pacific octopus.” The Washington Post reports “…. it is an un￾timely, feel-good, but deceptively sensitive debut…Memorable and tender”  Host: Rosalie Bianchi – For more info or directions call 505-783-4076

February: An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms Around Us NF 2023 by Ed Yong (Pulitzer winning science journalist)
ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR! A “thrilling” (The New York Times), “dazzling” (The Wall Street Journal) tour of the radically different
ways that animals perceive the world, that will fill you with wonder and forever alter your perspective. This book can be savored over time. Since it is dense with information, we could each read a chapter for Book Club. Host: Pam Davis – For more information or directions call/text 505-870-6245

March: Songs of Experience by M. Fowler, NF 1991
An anthology of literature about growing old. “Among the many treasures collected in Songs of Experience are works by E. B. White, Helen Hayes, Colette, William Carlos Williams, W. B.

This superb collection is destined to become an enduring classic, as illuminating to the young as it is reassuring to the old.”–Amazon Host: Jill Acheson-For more information or directions, call 505-783-4803
