Readers will be invited to pose questions to the panel about the book or share their thoughts.
Our panelists, Madeline Ellis, Casey Bigpond, Emma Fick, Kylie Altier, Pamela Jenkins and Jen Blanchard, will offer their thoughts and various perspectives on the book and its themes.
We will announce our next book in our Louisiana Inspired Book Club series during today's discussion. Hint: This one is fiction!
Reminder: If you're in Baton Rouge and would like to chat about the book with real live human beings, the Baton Rouge Library at 7711 Goodwood Blvd. will hold an in-person watch party as the virtual discussion takes place, with time to discuss the book before and after the virtual event.
