October UUAM Book Group

If you love to read and discuss books—especially books related to helping animals—this group is for you! The book we will be discussing in October is Esther the Wonder Pig: Changing the World One Heart at a Time by Steve Jenkins, Derek Walter, and Caprice Crane. From Publishers Weekly: "Funny, entertaining, enlightening, and touching, this book about an unknowingly influential little piggy is a good read that also provides an education on the intelligence of pigs and their capacity for giving and receiving affection." The UUAM Book Club meets the second Friday of each month. Our October meeting to discuss Esther the Wonder Pig will be on October 9th at 4 pm ET, 3 pm CT, 2 pm MT and 1 pm PT. Looking ahead, the book for November will be Crossings by Ben Goldfarb. From Goodreads: "In Crossings, environmental journalist Ben Goldfarb travels throughout the United States and around the world to investigate how roads have transformed our planet. A million animals are killed by cars each day in the U.S. alone, but as the new science of road ecology shows, the harms of highways extend far beyond roadkill."
