Announcing our next HLAA-TC monthly book club selection and date and time of the next meeting. We are discussing the fictional thriller “Not a Sound” by Heather Gudenkauf on Wednesday, July 7th at 7:00 p.m. The meeting will last no longer than an hour and a half. This meeting is going to be held online on Zoom (with captions). This is a separate and additional meeting to the HLAA-TC monthly chapter meetings.

We met for the first time in April 2021 to discuss the novel “Deaf Sentence” by David Lodge. Our second meeting was in May where we discussed the memoir “Life After Deaf” by Noel Holston. Noel Holston joined us for our discussion as well as members from other HLAA chapters.

We plan to meet monthly year round (even when HLAA-TC isn’t meeting during the summer months). Schedule and books are determined by the participants in the book club. The first discussion was relatively informal. The second meeting was also informal but structured around asking the author questions. It was exciting to have the author participate and got us all excited to dive into the next book. We have decided to rotate non-fiction and fiction (while we have a selection of both on our informal list of books to read). So, next month we will be choosing a non-fiction book.

If you are interested in the book club and you haven’t already notified Laura that you would like to attend please email social@hlaatc.org and Laura will send a meeting link to interested people a few days before the meeting. (All book club meetings are currently virtual.) Laura will also be available before the meeting to help get the application up and running for you if you need help (email her with questions).
