The discussions are always very lively and entertaining. Upcoming book titles are available at the library in different formats – regular print, large print, and audio.

- November – Astor by Anderson Cooper and Katherine Howe
- December – The Cliffs by J. Courtney Sullivan
- January – What Will People Think? by Sarah Hamdan
