Welcome to the KPL Book Club Blogspot

Welcome to the internet home of the Kilbourn Public Library (KPL) Book Club. The KPL Book Club meets at the library once a month. A book is chosen for each month and then members of the book club meet the last Monday and Wednesday of every month for lively discussion and treats. While we can’t offer you treats via the internet, this KPL Reads blog was designed for those of you who would like to participate in the book club but don’t have time to join us at meetings. Each month KPL staff will post discussion topics and questions to get you “talking”. Join in the discussion by adding a post to the blog. Click on the word comments below the post you want to "talk" about and write your comment. Be sure to check back often to see feedback and comments.

We are not keeping it a secret! Our book club selection for June is Can You Keep a Secret? by Sophie Kinsella. With the same wicked humor, bouyant charm and optimism that have made her Shopaholic novels beloved international bestsellers, Sophie Kinsella delivers a hilarious novel and an unforgettable character. Meet Emma Corrigan, a young woman with a huge heart, an irrepressible spirit, and a few little secrets!

After a run-of-the-mill business presentation runs amok, account executive Emma Corrigan finds herself on an unusually turbulent plane ride next to a handsome stranger. As she contemplates the business meeting she fears will end her career and the plane ride she fears will end her life, she aimlessly spews her deepest and darkest secrets to the man by her side. When the plane lands safely and Emma is adoringly welcomed by her long-time boyfriend Connor, she revels in the possibility that her bad luck has come to an end, but, unfortunately, her sense of relief is short-lived.

This is just a good old entertaining read! Did you laugh out loud? What did you like or dislike about the book? Let us know what you think.
