Voting is now taking place to select this year’s Coronado Community READ from among five final titles.
Now in its eighth year, the Coronado Community READ is Coronado’s “one city, one
book” program that aims to bring the community together for discussions and programs
around a single book.
The program encourages discussion and participation in planned community-building events around the theme of the title, selected by the readers.
Five finalists
The five finalists, in no particular order, are: “Into the Beautiful North” by Luis Alberto Urrea; “Lessons in Chemistry” by Bonnie Garmus; “The Rescue” by T. Jefferson Parker; “Remarkably Bright Creatures” by Shelby Van Pelt; and “Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and The Teachings of Plants” by Robin Wall Kimmerer.
