As we approach the end of April, what better way is there to enjoy a rainy spring day than to curl up with a good book? Right now the JOCL Book Club is reading
Shopping, Seduction and Mr. Selfridge by Lindy Woodhead, a biopic about the founder of one of England’s great department stories. If you are a PBS Masterpiece fan like I am, you probably recognize the book's title character from the series
Mr. Selfridge currently
airing Sunday nights on PBS. The book is also a great companion for the Chrysler's exciting new exhibition at the Selden Arcade "
Let's Go Shopping."

If you are interested in joing our discussion, or would like to see a list of upcoming book club selections, check out our new website at
http://www.chrysler.org/about-the-museum/library/our-book-club/. During the next few months, we'll be solving mysteries with the brilliant Sherlock Holmes, traveling back in time to 17th century Venice to learn the art glass blowing, and searching for mysterious sounds coming from the floorboards of a 19th century home. I hope you will join us!
