REGISTRATION BEGINS SEPT. 2ND Big Blue Book Club News Big Blue Book Club is back in its original format via Zoom! Mark your calendars for MONDAYS, beginning October 27 through November 17, as we read Praisesong for the Kitchen Ghosts by Crystal Wilkinson. We heard you when you asked for another book from a Kentucky author. Crystal Wilkinson not only is from Kentucky, but she is a former Kentucky Poet Laureate. And, we heard you when you asked for another "cookbook" story book. This book is full of family recipes and family stories that just might resonate with your own. "A keeper of her family's stories and treasured dishes, Crystal Wilkinson shares her inheritance in Praisesong for the Kitchen Ghosts. She found their stories in her apron pockets, floating inside the steam of hot mustard greens, and tucked into the sweet scent of clove and cinnamon in her kitchen. Part memoir, part cookbook, Praisesong for the Kitchen Ghosts weaves together those stories together with recipes, family photos, and a lyrical imagination to present a culinary portrait of a family that has lived and worked the earth of the mountains for over a century." Registration for this series opens September 2, 2025 on the website, ukfcs.net/BigBlueBookClub. As always, the first 200 registered participants will receive a free copy of the book.
