Our enjoyable beach day transported us to the carefree Posiedon porch of sea & sand delight to discuss the sordid world of one female London commuter gone awry. Gagging down margaritas, after being immersed in Rachel's alcoholic haze, was not as challenging as I'd imagined. Paula Hawkins' "The Girl on the Train" stoked discussion of creepy plausibility and the fascinating terror of having blackouts. The popularity of the book is undeniable and it was actually declared the fastest-selling adult novel in history in the article from The Daily Beast:

Meanderings in Boston brought me to these relics at the Central Public Library:

And I must share my favorite area- the lions at the staircase.....
Next up , we will meet on July 8 to discuss "Boy, Snow, Bird" by Helen Oyeyemi. Wanda's choice of location to be announced.
Happy Reading!
