Yesterday the group discussed A Spool of Blue Thread by Anne Tyler. Have you read it? What did you think? How did you feel when the significance of the spool of blue thread is revealed? Did the “thread” of blue running through the book feel satisfying to you?

Me Before You by Jojo Moyes. Have you read it? What did you think? Are you a fan of her other books?
