Looking for an opportunity to get fit in mind and body? Join the Sycamore Library as we partner with the Sycamore Park District for Lit & Fit! Participants will read & discuss popular titles each month, followed by a 45 minute walk around the Park District indoor track. March 17 at 7:00pm--STAY WITH ME, by Ayobami Adebayo. Yejide and Akin have been married since they met and fell in love at university. Though many expected Akin to take several wives, he and Yejide have always agreed: polygamy is not for them. But four years into their marriage--after consulting fertility doctors and healers, trying strange teas and unlikely cures--Yejide is still not pregnant. She assumes she still has time--until her family arrives on her doorstep with a young woman they introduce as Akin's second wife. April 21 at 7:00pm--MIDNIGHT AT THE BLACKBIRD CAFE, by Heather Webber. It was supposed to be a quick trip to close the café and settle her grandmother’s estate, but despite her best intentions to avoid forming ties or even getting to know her father’s side of the family, Anna Kate finds herself inexplicably drawn to the quirky Southern town her mother ran away from so many years ago, and the mysterious blackbird pie everybody can’t stop talking about. May 19 at 7:00pm--MEXICAN GOTHIC by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. After receiving a frantic letter from her newly-wed cousin begging for someone to save her from a mysterious doom, Noemí Taboada heads to High Place, a distant house in the Mexican countryside. She’s not sure what she will find—her cousin’s husband, a handsome Englishman, is a stranger, and Noemí knows little about the region. Pick up your copy of this month's book at Sycamore Library!
