Beryl called me yesterday, wondering where the blog was - had she missed it? No, for whatever reason, I have been very slow in getting it up! Maybe it was because most of us enjoyed reading the book, but there really wasn't that much to discuss, fun as it was. There were some who saw themselves (and their mothers) in the characters, I am still not sure whether that was a good thing.
Kathy Baker reviewed this book and ended up in Real Simple magazine - she brought along her review, what fun to see it. You go, Kathy!
We still had a fabulous time at Fiona's, who is always such a generous and gracious hostess. The highlight was a tour of her recent art work, always interesting and oh so impressive. Fiona is working toward a joint show in the fall with our friend Rob Walz, let's start planning now for what I know will be a highlight show.
So, on to next month, which will be at Lynn's house on Feb. 10 at 6:30 pm. The book is Life After Life, by Kate Atkinson. This is a bit of a change from choices we had discussed earlier, but this one has far more discussion possibilities than some others we had selected.
Other we talked about that came off the list included Roar of the Heavens, which is about Hurricane Camille and The Funeral Dress, by Susan Gregg Gilmore. I had dinner with her and Ellen Brown (of The Making of Gone With The Wind) when Susan was in town for a reading at the Fountain, she was lovely!
As usual, great to see you all, I am looking forward to our next great read.
