- Happiness Falls by Angie Kim: This gripping family mystery propels readers into a world of unexpected twists and emotional depth as it explores themes of love, language, and race.

The Value of Diverse Literary Perspectives
Engaging with varied genres and styles encourages open-mindedness and adaptability in readers, something vital to maintaining mental agility as we grow older. Each selected book encourages discussions that allow members to express differing viewpoints—fostering perspective and empathy, vital social skills.
Making Connections: A Social Necessity
As we age, maintaining social networks becomes essential. Book clubs often create tight-knit communities where members develop friendships, share experiences, and support each other. This empowerment can significantly enhance one’s overall emotional well-being, leading to a greater sense of belonging.
