Book Clubs for
One Book, One White Plains
 Do you belong to a book club? Then consider discussing Celeste Ng's Everything I Never Told You this coming September or October. Everything I Never Told You has been selected for our One Book, One White Plains and we want as many folks as possible to share in the experience. We'll provide copies of the books, support materials—like topics for discussion—and if you want a guest leader, I'd be happy to come to your group and lead the discussion.
Even if you're not in a book group, consider getting a few friends together, or colleagues at work. We'll provide everything mentioned above to make the reading and conversation a success.
If you are interested in copies of the novel, a book group leader, or all of the above, drop me a line.
Thanks,
Brian Kenney
