June Employee Book Club Pick: This Time Tomorrow
Each month we will announce a new book and send a copy to those who sign up. Book genres will vary each month to offer an array of titles for all areas of interest. Employees will have a few weeks to read the book before the meeting. During the meeting, we will discuss overall thoughts of the book, themes, character development and more.
Participation is completely optional, and you can alternate which months you participate based on interest in the book pick. Those who sign up will receive a calendar invite for the book club meeting. The book club is open to all employees across the organization and we encourage anyone who is interested to sign up!
June Book Club Pick:
This Time Tomorrow by Emma Straub
On the eve of her 40th birthday, Alice’s life isn’t terrible. She likes her job, even if it isn’t exactly the one she expected.
She’s happy with her apartment, her romantic status, her independence, and she adores her lifelong best friend. But her father is ailing, and it feels to her as if something is missing.
When she wakes up the next morning, she finds herself back in 1996, reliving her 16th birthday. But it isn’t just her adolescent body that shocks her, or seeing her high school crush, it’s her dad: the vital, charming, 40-something version of her father with whom she is reunited.
Now armed with a new perspective on her own life and his, some past events take on new meaning. Is there anything that she would change if she could?
We will host two June Book Club meetings on June 30, 2022 to accommodate various schedules: Noon – 12:45PM EST and 6:00PM – 6:45PM EST. Contact Missy Wezet ([email protected]) to sign up or with questions. Sign ups are due by EOD Wednesday, June 3, 2022.
