June 17th Meeting

Last night we had our monthly meeting of the club, hosted by Verna. We started by settling up some business regarding dates, lists of hostess's and genre's of books. We also had a quick computer update concerning the Blog. We have added two new genre's to our list. They will be Spiritual, suggested by Janet and Self-development, suggested by Debbie. This and other information will be posted on the Blog shortly.
Unfortunately several of our members had not read this months entry, Death in Holy Orders, citing reasons from lack of time to lack of interest in this particular book. It was disappointing as it eliminated them from any discussion about the book. However those that did read the book all seemed to enjoy it and a fairly lively discussion on it was had by those members. On a personal note, I was happy to be re-introduced to the Mystery novel and intend to read more by this author and others of her ilk.
Our upcoming book, selected by Pat, sounds like a perfect Summer read. We will be reading The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. Until next month, Enjoy!

May 20th Meeting

This month we met at Fran's home to discuss our book, A Thousand Splendid Suns. It was the second time we had "visited" this area of the world through our books. We had a lively discussion that ranged from opinions on the various cultural differences we noticed, to woman's rights both here and throughout the world. We even touched on the effects, both good and bad that religion has had on society throughout the ages. For most of us this was the second book we have read by Khaled Hosseini. Most of us had read the Kite Runner and it was a split as to who enjoyed which book most. We look forward to a complete change of pace with our Mystery next month. Enjoy everyone!
