The CVUU Book Lovers’ Group meets regularly via Zoom for book chats on novels (historical fiction, science fiction, and other genres) and non-fiction. The group provides intellectual stimulation and builds relationships.

Our next discussion is on Saturday, May 25th of The Cat Who Saved Books by Sosuke Natsukawa.

Bookish high school student Rintaro Natsuki is about to close the secondhand bookstore he inherited from his beloved bookworm grandfather. Then, a talking cat appears with an unusual request. The feline asks for—or rather, demands—the teenager’s help in saving books with him. The world is full of lonely books left unread and unloved, and the cat and Rintaro must liberate them from their neglectful owners. 

Their mission sends this odd couple on an amazing journey, where they enter different mazes to set books free.

And for more book talk, try out the Facebook group CVUU’s Bookworms. It’s a private group on Facebook, set up in January 2020 to share news of CVUU’s two book clubs, The Novel Ideas Book Club and the CVUU Book Lovers.

If book clubs are not your thing, but books are, you do not have to be a member of either book club to join the group! The page is chock-full of book talk and fellowship outside of scheduled reads and news of meetups.
