Twentythirtysomething Book Club (TTBC) Summer Selections
“Join Twentythirtysomething Book Club (TTBC), a DC Public Library book group for younger adults, for a summer of great reads!
In our June 25 selection, Teju Cole’s novel “Every Day is for the Thief,” a young Nigerian man returns to Lagos after living in New York City and, as he wanders the city and re-connects with various individuals, he considers his past, his future, and the state of his homeland.
Our July 23 selection is 2014 nonfiction title “On the Run: Fugitive Life in an American City.” Sociologist Alice Goffman spent six years in a disadvantaged Philadelphia neighborhood to produce this ground level look at how contemporary policing methods impact the lives of citizens, especially young African American men.
In our August 27 selection, Celeste Ng’s 2014 novel “Everything I Never Told You,” the mysterious death of sixteen-year-old Lydia Lee threatens to unravel her family, whose members are burdened already by past conflicts, ongoing tensions, and long held secrets.
All meetings will take place at breadsoda (2233 Wisconsin Ave. NW) and will start at 7:30 p.m.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
