Hi Everyone~

I am looking forward to seeing you all on Monday, Sept. 26 around 5:30. Don't worry about bringing anything, except your appetites for both dinner and book discussion!

I wanted to post this link from the library. It may help in your future selections.

Hotel at the Corner of Bitter and Sweet

As I mentioned in my earlier "comment", Chris's choice - Hotel at the Corner of Bitter and Sweet , became available and you all will have that by this next meeting. I will now place myself to choose the next book. I've been a little slow about deciding anyway, so hopefully something will really grab me in the next few days! Sorry to miss the meeting at Chris's, and I hope to see you soon.

I just noticed that I am next to host - I would like to choose a weekday evening - if possible. I'm thinking maybe a Wednesday night on either the 21st or the 28th? Please let me know if one is better than the other.

I CAN'T BELIEVE!

I think I just counted 94 books that we've read since starting this book club. Simply amazing! That means 94 wonderful, delicious, thoughtful meals as well!!!! It's fun to go back and look at the old titles which sparks lots of memories.

Thank you to whoever has taken the time to post all the titles. :)

August meeting

The August meeting will be 2 PM Sunday August 28 at Chris's house.


P.S.

Thanks so much for the wonderful dinner, Debbie! Baked Alaska really takes the cake!!
It was fun to read "Winterdance", and I think that Chris may have the tally on the rating of our book. I will check my email to find out. If you read this, Chris - I think that we can be squeezed in for "The Hotel at Bitter and Sweet", as our next book. If so, how about you and I just switch places for choosing a book?

I kind of want to choose a mystery... any suggestions?

We are now reading Debbie's choice, "The Hiding Place", by Corrie Ten Boom. I read this back in the late 70's. It's such a long time ago, that I remember the circumstances, but not all of the particulars. What a strange era the people in Europe lived through during the years of WWII. Hard to believe how people can be so brutal, and others can so willingly put their lives into such danger to protect others.

July Meeting

Reminder that we'll be at Debbie's upriver at 2 PM Sunday July 31. Laughing and learning with Winterdance!

OOOPS!

I made a mistake in ordering the Wrong Book for what Barbara requested. She actually wanted a book by Gary Paulsen titled, "Winterdance". I just sent an email to Paula after noticing that there are multiple copies of that title in the book club collection. I am hoping that I will get it in by Monday!

Thanks for being patient with me!!

Books Have Arrived!

Hi Everyone,

I'm writing to let you know that the next books, "Brian's Winter", by Gary Paulsen and chosen by Barbara have arrived at the library. Please let me know if you need to have a copy either mailed to you are brought to your home. It is a very short book and I am confident will be a quick read.

Hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July weekend holiday!
