Christina has started a book club called The Scoop.  It meets monthly on Tuesdays at FOMU Ice Cream at 655 Tremont St. from 2:00pm to 3:00pm. 

July's book discussion will be Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi.

 In a small back alley in Tokyo, there is a café which has been serving carefully brewed coffee for more than one hundred years. But this coffee shop offers its customers a unique experience: the chance to travel back in time.
In Before the Coffee Gets Cold, we meet four visitors, each of whom is hoping to make use of the café’s time-travelling offer, in order to: confront the man who left them, receive a letter from their husband whose memory has been taken by early onset Alzheimer's, to see their sister one last time, and to meet the daughter they never got the chance to know.

But the journey into the past does not come without risks: customers must sit in a particular seat, they cannot leave the café, and finally, they must return to the present before the coffee gets cold . . .

 This book is available on Hoopla Digital, which means...no waitlist! For a physical copy, please send an email to southend@bpl.org or call 617-655-2441 to schedule a pickup appointment.
