Book Group Selections for July and August

Did you know we have a Book Group?

The UU-HNL “Page Turners” meet on Zoom the 2^nd Wednesdays of each month from 4:00 – 5:30 pm.  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:

JULY 8, 2026 (2nd Wed of month)

“Finding Margaret Fuller: A Novel,” by Allison Pataki
An inspiring work of  historical fiction book about the 19th-century writer, activist, and Transcendentalist Margaret Fuller, who was a central figure in American intellectual circles but is often overlooked. Young, beautiful, and brilliant, Margaret Fuller becomes “the radiant genius and fiery heart” of the Transcendentalists. She inspires Louisa May Alcott, sparks Nathaniel Hawthorne to create Hester Prynne, and forms close bonds with Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson.  Margaret defies societal conventions as an activist for women’s rights and a champion for humanity.

“The Correspondent,” by Virginia Evans 

A small, charming, story about the transformative power of the written word and the beauty of slowing down to reconnect with the people we love.  Filled with knowledge that only comes from a life fully lived, The Correspondent is a gem of a novel about the power of finding solace in literature and connection with people we might never meet in person.  “Quietly dazzling” – NYT,  “A cause for celebration” – Ann Patchett
