Surprise! An Amendment

Dear Bookclub,
One month of our new meeting date policy and a bump in the road. We knew it would happen, just not sure exactly how it would play out. Easy resolution (too bad we can't help the government's health insurance website) proposed by Terrie G:

If a hostess has a conflict with our bookclub meeting date on the first Wednesday of the month, she can rearrange  and coordinate a new date.

Voila! Wanda has coordinated a new date for the November's meeting is Tuesday, November 12. Location to be announced but will be someplace local. Thank you Wanda for implementing and thank you Terrie for the suggestion.

 The March selection taken from the following choices submitted by Terrie at the last meeting will be:

** "We are Water" by Wally Lamb ***

also considered....

"The Silver Star: A Novel" by Jeannette Walls
"The Signature of All Things" by Elizabeth Gilbert




Happy Halloween from Whiskey

October bookclub news

resonating

"Big Brother" continues to resonate as I slowly process the long ago devoured pages. Shriver's stories seem to linger. Wednesday's lunch at Searsucker lent an appropriate and really fun setting for our discussions. Currently cleansing my palate with another page-turner for my 'other' bookclub, "The Aviator's Wife",  and will then begin "Reading Jackie". 


Touted as the biography of the last third of her life, William Kuhn documents her career as an editor, one that lasted longer than either of her two marriages.


Hope not to get too distracted by the mention of the one hundred books she brought to publication.

Happy Reading!
