If you’re a fan of books and just can’t stop talking about the last one you read, Book Babble is the group for you. If you'd like us to put each month's book on hold for you, please fill out this form: https://forms.gle/o6pyJ8tJBRKJ3Q6d8. This month we'll be reading " The Leaving Room" by Amber McBride. Gospel is the Keeper of the Leaving Room--a place all young people must phase through when they die. The young are never ready to leave; they need a moment to remember and a Keeper to help their wispy souls along. When a random door opens and a Keeper named Melodee arrives, their souls become entangled. Gospel's seriousness melts and Melodee's fear of connection fades, but still--are Keepers allowed to fall in love? Now they must find a way out of the Leaving Room and be unafraid of their love.
