Our Book Club meets again on 23 October to discuss 'The Measure' by Nikki Erlick.

It seems like any other day. You wake up, drink a cup of coffee, and head out. But today, when you open your front door, waiting for you is a small wooden box. The contents of this mysterious box tells you the exact number of years you will live.
From suburban doorsteps to desert tents, every person on every continent receives the same box. In an instant, the world is thrust into a collective frenzy. Where did these boxes come from? What do they mean? Is there truth to what they promise?
As society comes together and pulls apart, everyone faces the same shocking choice: Do they wish to know how long they’ll live? And, if so, what will they do with that knowledge?

Enchanting and deeply uplifting, 'The Measure' is an ambitious, invigorating story about family, friendship, hope, and destiny that encourages us to live life to the fullest.
