Dear Bookclub,
Leisurely lunching, despite the staring wall of piranhas over our shoulders, the Ironside eatery was a most hospitable place to place ourselves for a "Boy, Snow, Bird"discussion and a feast. From oysters to olive oil cake, we marveled at Helen Oyeyemi's talent and the end-of-story reveal.

| "feed me feed me" called the fishies like the "pay me pay me" parking reminders chimed by our phones |
Catching up with each other was tremendously fun (and interesting - thank you Val for your amazing sister story). Of course it is never enough and some of us lingered with shopping in Little Italy - just to be sure to kill off the afternoon properly.
Wanda's suggestions for the next selection:
"Florence Gordon" by Brian Morton
"The Empire of Necessity" by Greg Grandin
"Euphoria" by Lily King *chosen
Alas, I must admit, as of this writing, I could not remember what the first two titles were about. My research has yielded a purchase on Amazon for #1 and a reminder to tell Terrie G. to please check out #2 - it is right up your love-of-historic-fiction alley.
Next up - August meeting will be moved to the second Wednesday, August 12, and I have traded spots with Terrie G. who is on baby watch!!!!
Read on,
LK
PS A few activities were enthusiastically mentioned that we need to plan - Pickleball & touring models of The Estates in Del Sur. Ideas?
