All fiction lies to tell the truth. ~ Attributed to Francis Guy Percy Wyndham, 1924
A Novel Idea is a book discussion group that enables people in the parish to come together once a month to share their love of reading fiction. All participants read and discuss the selected book, exchanging their ideas and opinions in a forum characterized by mutual respect. The facilitators prepare discussion questions, provide background on the authors, encourage participation of those present, and implement the book selection process.
We gather on Zoom on the third Thursday of the month at 7:00 pm. Find the Zoom link in your MONDAY Parish Wide email the week of our meeting, or contact us at [email protected] to receive the Zoom link.
