| The organization that is us.
Dear Bookclub,
A much anticipated get-away fired up our sisterhood, as it always does and left us wanting more, as it always does. What a wonderful situation! A first night feast at The Royce Steakhouse, inside the freshly decorated Langham Pasadena, warmed up our spirits and bellies.
 Braving the cold rain for our Huntington tour (see above), we cheerfully enjoyed our tour guide's delivery - what a brave guy to face the elements and us. Rewarding him with an early dismissal, blazing through galleries, exhibits and the estate, we finally landed at the Rose Garden Tea Room. One of many tables we sat around, we merrily conversed about everything under the sun, including our Christmas read, Samantha Silva's "Mr. Dickens and His Carol".
New Year! Bookclub reality hit hard as our newly determined meeting day of the week,Tuesday arrived and as January 7th seemed so far off when we agreed, there it was. Meeting at Terry's glorious round table, prepared with our newly organized format of ranking our read and delivering a one sentence thought, discussing Ta-Nehisi Coates' novel, "The Water Dancer", Wanda wowed us with her insightful thought: "The deep unresolved pain of slavery lends to a desire to find an otherworldly path to freedom. Trying to understand the point of power of conduction:"  Trudy's books, (December), considered for an upcoming read: "The Silent Patient" Alex Michaelides "The Revisionists" Thomas Mullen "Reading with Patrick" Michelle Kuo *chosen Terry's books, (January), considered for an upcoming read: "The Shadow of the Wind" Carlos Ruiz Zafon "Bad Blood" John Carryrou "American Dirt" Jeanine Cummins *chosen Val's books, (February) to consider for an upcoming read: "The Wives of Los Alamos" Tarashea Nesbit "Remembering Shanghai" Isabel Sun Chao and Claire Chao "Just Mercy" Bryan Stevenson
