Dear Bookclub,
Like many fine publications, this blog has been on hiatus through the holidays. Representing the December/January thing like Garden & Gun magazine, Agriview, out of Saskatchewan, Giggle, a Tallahassee parenting magazine, Sactown, Sacramento happenings, and of course the ever exclusive, Sotheby's, here is a smattering of our happenings. (Actually, I only subscribe to the first.)
With our beloved gathering as a kick-off to the holiday season, Palm Springs was perfection. The Avalon housed, fed and spa'd us with panache. The unexpected quality and quantity of aforementioned, was surpassed by the discovery of the very nearby Tahquitz Canyon trail.

Ginger, I must say it again, we missed you! Enjoying much chat time, our discussion of Candice Millard's "Hero of the Empire" focused on Churchill's youthful exuberance and lucky circumstances.
Trudy's suggestions for an upcoming read:
"The Baker's Daughter" Sarah McCoy*
"Beneath a Scarlet Sky" Mark Sullivan
"Prairie Fires: The American Dreams of Laura Ingalls Wilder" Caroline Fraser
*chosen
Our January read, Camron Wright's "The Rent Collector", was inspired by the author's son's documentary film, "River of Victory". See the trailer and disturbing images, not unlike what was in your imagination while reading:
