St. Joseph’s College’s Virtual Book Club members had a chance to join Ashley Audrain, author of “The Push,” for a live author talk on Tuesday, March 8.
“The Push,” Audrain’s first novel, follows a woman whose own childhood experience left her nervous about becoming a parent herself. When she does, however, she’s convinced there’s something wrong with her daughter — and that she’s possibly dangerous.
This page-turning psychological drama kickstarted SJC’s Virtual Book Club with its first reading of 2022.
The College’s Virtual Book Club, which was created in 2020 as a way to offer safe social engagement during the pandemic, selects what books to read by voting via the online discussion board. The next book is The New York Times bestseller “The Henna Artist” by Alka Joshi.
Suggested Reading Schedule for the Next Book:
March 18: Reply to the “Before the Book” question on the discussion board and begin to read the book.
April 1: Finish reading through chapter four.
April 8: Finish reading through chapter nine.
April 15: Finish reading through chapter fourteen.
April 29: Finish reading through chapter nineteen.
May 13: Finish reading the book, then join the end-of-book discussion topic in the forum.
Those interested in joining the free book club are encouraged to browse discussions and participate online here.
