A monthly book discussion.

Discuss Beartown by Fredrik Backman

Winning a junior ice hockey championship means everything to the residents of Beartown, a struggling community slowly being eaten alive by unemployment and an encroaching wilderness. Victory could bring government support and draw talented athletes who would pick Beartown over the larger nearby cities.
