It was great to get everyone’s perspectives on these topics (as well as to hear who their favorite characters were!), and to explore how all of the people and places in the book are connected. We then went into discussion groups to talk about the characters and settings in The War I Finally Won. It was really cool to hear what people thought of the two books, and which one they liked better! Next, we split into two groups, each of which discussed the similarities and differences between The War I Finally Won and The War that Saved My Life. The ARTT rooms are a great way to get to know people! In these breakout rooms, people introduced themselves and were able to share out and talk about their favorite books. Our first activity was splitting into “ARTT rooms” which are social breakout rooms of three or four people. In The War I Finally Won, Ada and Jamie continue living under the care of kindly Susan in rural England during World War II. The book we discussed was The War I Finally Won by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley, which is the sequel to our previous read, The War that Saved My Life. The Book Club ran for around an half-and-a-half and was attended by thirty participants from across the US, as well as in the UK. Last Saturday, September 26, was the Stone Soup Book Club’s first Book Club meeting at its new meeting time: 9am PST on Saturdays. An update from our twentieth Book Club meeting!
