Did you know we have a Book Group?
The UU-HNL “Page Turners” meet on Zoom 1st Wednesdays of each month from 4:00 – 5:30 pm (shifting to 2nd Wednesdays beginning in May). We read a wide selection of both fiction and non-fiction with the requirement that the book either be available in the library or very inexpensive used. To join our zoom discussion email James Skouge.
Selections for coming months:
APRIL 2, 2025
“Midnight in Broad Daylight: A Japanese American Family Caught Between Two Worlds,” by Pamela Rotner Sakamoto
Meticulously researched and beautifully written, the true story of a Japanese American family that found itself on opposite sides during World War II—an epic tale of family, separation, divided loyalties, love, reconciliation, loss, and redemption—this is a riveting chronicle of U.S.–Japan relations and the Japanese experience in America.
“Deeply reported and researched… Midnight in Broad Daylight” not only tells one family’s remarkable story but also makes an important contribution to our knowledge of the Japanese-American experience in World War II, on both sides of the ocean and the hyphen. — New York Times Book Review
MAY 14, 2025 (shift to 2nd Wed)
“The Bookshop: A History of the American Bookstore,” by Evan Friss
The Bookshop is a love letter to bookstores, a charming chronicle for anyone who cherishes these sanctuaries of literature, and essential reading to understand how these vital institutions have shaped American life—and why we still need them. [NOTE that there is another book with same title]
