Book Club: Frankenstein

In today's episode of Plumfield and Person, Diane and Sara talk with Sara's friend, Fr. Jordan Neeck, O. Praem, a priest of St. Norbert Abbey in DePere, Wisconsin about Mary Shelly's novel Frankenstein. Sara and Fr. Jordan have read this powerful story several times together. Once as part of a Senior Religion class that Fr. Jordan was teaching, another time with some young adult ladies, and once with their Tuesday Night Classics club that that we have talked about before. In this episode, we talk about how the book was received by each of those audiences, why Diane, Sara, and Fr. Jordan appreciate it, and other books that it pairs well with.

Book Club: The Borrowed House Book Club

In this special episode, Diane and Sara sat down with the ladies from Biblioguides to have an in-depth conversation about Hilda van Stockum's The Borrowed House. This hour-long discussion is a great start to unpacking this book, but it is just that. A start. We merely scratched the surface. That is why we had the joy of making a wonderful announcement at the start of the episode: Biblioguides is launching a Mighty Networks network and they have generously given us a place in their network to host ongoing book club discussions! The Plumfield Reads group inside the Biblioguides Mighty Network is free and open to any of our listeners! Join, for free, here: https://community.biblioguides.com/ This book club discussion will have spoilers in it. If you would like to join the discussion but do not want any spoilers, join the Borrowed House book club on Mighty Networks and join in the discussion threads as you read. Also, check out our Beloved Author: Hilda van Stockum page for links to all of our reviews, book clubs, and things related to Hilda van Stockum.
