SUMMARY:Third Thursday Book Discussion: Nothing to See Here by Kevin Wilson
DESCRIPTION:We will meet inside the children’s room after closing with masks on\, chairs spaced apart\, and windows cracked open. \n  \nA New York Times Bestseller  •  A Read with Jenna Today Show Book Club Pick! \nNamed a Best Book of the Year by The New York Times Book Review\, The Washington Post\, People\, Entertainment Weekly\, USA Today\, TIME\, The A.V. Club\, Buzzfeed\, and PopSugar \n“I can’t believe how good this book is…. It’s wholly original. It’s also perfect…. Wilson writes with such a light touch…. The brilliance of the novel [is] that it distracts you with these weirdo characters and mesmerizing and funny sentences and then hits you in a way you didn’t see coming. You’re laughing so hard you don’t even realize that you’ve suddenly caught fire.” —Taffy Brodesser-Akner\, author of Fleishman is in Trouble\, New York Times Book Review \nFrom the New York Times bestselling author of The Family Fang\, a moving and uproarious novel about a woman who finds meaning in her life when she begins caring for two children with a remarkable ability. \nLillian and Madison were unlikely roommates and yet inseparable friends at their elite boarding school. But then Lillian had to leave the school unexpectedly in the wake of a scandal and they’ve barely spoken since. Until now\, when Lillian gets a letter from Madison pleading for her help. \nMadison’s twin stepkids are moving in with her family and she wants Lillian to be their caretaker. However\, there’s a catch: the twins spontaneously combust when they get agitated\, flames igniting from their skin in a startling but beautiful way. Lillian is convinced Madison is pulling her leg\, but it’s the truth. \nThinking of her dead-end life at home\, the life that has consistently disappointed her\, Lillian figures she has nothing to lose. Over the course of one humid\, demanding summer\, Lillian and the twins learn to trust each other—and stay cool—while also staying out of the way of Madison’s buttoned-up politician husband. Surprised by her own ingenuity yet unused to the intense feelings of protectiveness she feels for them\, Lillian ultimately begins to accept that she needs these strange children as much as they need her—urgently and fiercely. Couldn’t this be the start of the amazing life she’d always hoped for? \nWith white-hot wit and a big\, tender heart\, Kevin Wilson has written his best book yet—a most unusual story of parental love. \n  \nBooks available though Tilton and CWMARS.

SUMMARY:Art @ Tilton: Intro to Museum of Leo’s Art (MOLA)
DESCRIPTION:Drawings & Paintings by Leo.  All proceeds from the sale of Leo’s artwork support the autism community.  \nLeo\, a youth artist with an autism diagnosis\, enjoys creating seasonal scenes\, vehicles of all kinds\, animals\, and various landscapes.  While drawing is his first love\, Leo is very creative at using shapes and other materials\, morphing them into various objects.  A resident of Dedham\, Leo strives to progress each day to live his best life. \nDuring the pandemic\, art was one of Leo’s primary activities.  Through his artwork\, he remembered the many things he loved but couldn’t do because of social distancing.  He used artwork during physical therapy sessions that became virtual during the pandemic-working on balance while he created themed\, chalkboard drawing.  Artwork was a source of happiness and self-regulation during such an unsettling time when Leo’s school and supporting therapies were halted. \nFind MOLA on Instagram

SUMMARY:Art @ Tilton: Ceramics by Griffin
DESCRIPTION:Biography: Griffin Mariani is 14 years old and a 9th grader at Eaglebrook School. He lives in Montague\, with his parents\, brother Gavin\, and Golden Retriever named Bozeman. Griffin enjoys taking art classes\, travelling with his family\, and is an avid hockey player. \nArtist Statement: I’ve taken many art classes as electives at school\, including 2D Art\, stone carving and stained glass\, but ceramics has really resonated with me. I like working in this medium because I get to be creative and make something I can both admire and use in everyday life. My teacher Jaye Pope has been my guide and inspiration. \nI create pieces through hand building\, coil techniques and throwing on the wheel. Each piece is hand glazed and fired in a kiln. I learn something new with every piece I create and continue to perfect my techniques. My favorite pieces combine hand thrown pots with pieces of stained glass on the bottom. The way the glass melts on the bottom always leaves a cool effect.

SUMMARY:Science Book Discussion: Sirens of Mars
DESCRIPTION:WINNER OF THE PHI BETA KAPPA AWARD FOR SCIENCE • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New York Times Book Review • Times (UK) • Library Journal\nMars was once similar to Earth\, but today there are no rivers\, no lakes\, no oceans. Coated in red dust\, the terrain is bewilderingly empty. And yet multiple spacecraft are circling Mars\, sweeping over Terra Sabaea\, Syrtis Major\, the dunes of Elysium\, and Mare Sirenum—on the brink\, perhaps\, of a staggering find\, one that would inspire humankind as much as any discovery in the history of modern science. \nIn this beautifully observed\, deeply personal book\, Georgetown scientist Sarah Stewart Johnson tells the story of how she and other researchers have scoured Mars for signs of life\, transforming the planet from a distant point of light into a world of its own. \nJohnson’s fascination with Mars began as a child in Kentucky\, turning over rocks with her father and looking at planets in the night sky. She now conducts fieldwork in some of Earth’s most hostile environments\, such as the Dry Valleys of Antarctica and the salt flats of Western Australia\, developing methods for detecting life on other worlds. Here\, with poetic precision\, she interlaces her own personal journey—as a female scientist and a mother—with tales of other seekers\, from Percival Lowell\, who was convinced that a utopian society existed on Mars\, to Audouin Dollfus\, who tried to carry out astronomical observations from a stratospheric balloon. In the process\, she shows how the story of Mars is also a story about Earth: This other world has been our mirror\, our foil\, a telltale reflection of our own anxieties and yearnings. \nEmpathetic and evocative\, The Sirens of Mars offers an unlikely natural history of a place where no human has ever set foot\, while providing a vivid portrait of our quest to defy our isolation in the cosmos. \n  \nMEETING IN THE TILTON CHILDREN’S ROOM – MASKS REQUIRED\n \n\n\n\nNOTE: TO GET A COPY OF THE BOOK THROUGH THE TILTON LIBRARY\, CALL OR EMAIL US OR PLACE A HOLD THROUGH CWMARS Here. \n\n\n\nThis is part of the Tilton’s participation in the Science Friday Book Club.

SUMMARY:Book Discussion: Such a Fun Age
DESCRIPTION:We will meet in-person unless otherwise noted. Please bring a mask. \n  \nA Best Book of the Year:\nThe Washington Post • Chicago Tribune • NPR • Vogue • Elle • Real Simple • InStyle • Good Housekeeping • Parade • Slate • Vox • Kirkus Reviews • Library Journal • BookPage \nLonglisted for the 2020 Booker Prize \n“The most provocative page-turner of the year.” —Entertainment Weekly \nA striking and surprising debut novel from an exhilarating new voice\, Such a Fun Age is a page-turning and big-hearted story about race and privilege\, set around a young black babysitter\, her well-intentioned employer\, and a surprising connection that threatens to undo them both. \nAlix Chamberlain is a woman who gets what she wants and has made a living\, with her confidence-driven brand\, showing other women how to do the same. So she is shocked when her babysitter\, Emira Tucker\, is confronted while watching the Chamberlains’ toddler one night\, walking the aisles of their local high-end supermarket. The store’s security guard\, seeing a young black woman out late with a white child\, accuses Emira of kidnapping two-year-old Briar. A small crowd gathers\, a bystander films everything\, and Emira is furious and humiliated. Alix resolves to make things right. \nBut Emira herself is aimless\, broke\, and wary of Alix’s desire to help. At twenty-five\, she is about to lose her health insurance and has no idea what to do with her life. When the video of Emira unearths someone from Alix’s past\, both women find themselves on a crash course that will upend everything they think they know about themselves\, and each other. \nWith empathy and piercing social commentary\, Such a Fun Age explores the stickiness of transactional relationships\, what it means to make someone “family\,” and the complicated reality of being a grown up. It is a searing debut for our times. \nBOOKS AVAIALBLE AT THE TILTON UPSTAIRS CIRCULATION DESK.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Book Group: Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell
DESCRIPTION:NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD WINNER • NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “Of all the stories that argue and speculate about Shakespeare’s life … here is a novel … so gorgeously written that it transports you.” —The Boston Globe \nIn 1580’s England\, during the Black Plague a young Latin tutor falls in love with an extraordinary\, eccentric young woman in this “exceptional historical novel” (The New Yorker) and best-selling winner of the Women’s Prize for Fiction. \nAgnes is a wild creature who walks her family’s land with a falcon on her glove and is known throughout the countryside for her unusual gifts as a healer\, understanding plants and potions better than she does people. Once she settles with her husband on Henley Street in Stratford-upon-Avon she becomes a fiercely protective mother and a steadfast\, centrifugal force in the life of her young husband\, whose career on the London stage is taking off when his beloved young son succumbs to sudden fever. \nA luminous portrait of a marriage\, a shattering evocation of a family ravaged by grief and loss\, and a tender and unforgettable re-imagining of a boy whose life has been all but forgotten\, and whose name was given to one of the most celebrated plays of all time\, Hamnet is mesmerizing\, seductive\, impossible to put down—a magnificent leap forward from one of our most gifted novelists. \nCopies of book available at Tilton adult circulation desk and through CWMARS.
