New Book Group for summer!
We’ve been asked to begin a Saturday book group for people who come to the area on week-ends. Sounds like fun, doesn’t it! Planning is underway for this group, and at this point, we’re thinking of meeting the second and third Saturdays of June, July, and August. The same book will be discussed at both meetings in each month, so if you can’t come to one, you can come to the other. What time do you think would be best? Does your lake association have a newsletter which would include information about the group? We’d love any suggestions you might have—email sally@beagleandwolf.com
Have you heard?
The 8th Harry Potter book will be released on July 31!
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is actually the script of the play which will premiere in London on July 30. This is the eighth story in the Harry Potter series and the first official Harry Potter story to be presented on stage. Here’s the story line: It was always difficult being Harry Potter and it isn’t much easier now that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic, a husband and father of three school-age children.
While Harry grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son Albus must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted. As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places.
The book is a hardcover, priced at $29.99. We are accepting pre-orders at orders@beagleandwolf.com and in the store.

Locally Laidby Lucie B. Amundsen
In this funny, thought-provoking, and well-written memoir, Amundsen charts the journey of how her family went from a normal life of office jobs to running a farm of 2,500 pasture-raised chickens. With a heavy dose of humor, Lucie shares the lessons of wrangling a gaggle of sassy hens (all named Lola) and tells the bigger story of agriculture through the small story of starting a farm. Amundsen lives in Duluth, Minnesota.
This book will appeal to fans of Michael Pollan and Barbara Kingsolver, those who are interested in food science and agri-business. It’s a hardcover which will be released the first week in March.
Jen says: When I started Locally Laid, I was in love with it by the end of the first page! It became one of those books that I walk around the house reading, tuning out things like family and pets and laundry and eating. I made two rules for myself: no reading this book while tired and no hurrying, because I didn’t want to miss a thing. Lucie’s writing is just like her: smart, funny, honest, and charming, and the memoir reads like a novel. I’m looking forward to talking to readers about this book!
Bottomland by Michelle Hoover
This book, Hoover’s long-awaited second novel, tells a haunting story based on an occurrence in Hoover’s family. When the two youngest daughters of a German-American family disappear from the family farm in the years after WWI farm, their siblings must piece together what happened while struggling to maintain their livelihood on the unforgiving plains and dealing with anti-German sentiment.
This book will appeal to readers of Marilynne Robinson, Amanda Coplin, Willa Cather, and Theodore Dreiser, as well as to those who read The Quickening, Hoover’s first novel. It’s one of the books we’ll be discussing at our Reading Retreat. It’s a paperback which will release March 1, and Gail reviewed it in this newsletter.
