Back on

Thanks to Chris Mallon for getting me back on the blog as an author so I can add new posts.  Next step, administration so I can help update our side bars.  Maybe with Esther's help.......
Glad to be back on!

Next Meeting in Murdock Canyon

We are scheduled to discuss The Zookeeper's Wife on Saturday October 25 about 1 PM after "Make a Difference Day" duties (for me, Entiat River Rd clean-up). Those who need directions should just catch a ride with Esther or Claudia or Barbara.  A light meal in the spirit of war-torn Warsaw will be served!  I also suggest that we consider a "field trip" to Gateway Cinema in December, after "Wild" debuts at the theater Dec 5...in honor of us having read it a year ago as a selection. Claudia and I will be able to reflect on our 3 day experience with the Washington portion of the PCT which we did the past summer! Farm Girl

Thank you, Claudia

A lovely, lovely evening with a gift of flowers to bring home.  I always learn something, whether it be about our local history or current events or ....... the people in book club, which I love the most!

Everything Under the Moon!

Thank you to Claudia for a  swanky evening of absolutely  fabulous dining! It was just lovely to look out the window and see your beautiful rainbow of dahlias!

Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil was such a great selection too, It's strength lay in the cast of characters, almost too deliciously varied to be true - including the city of Savannah itself. One could easily think , as some of us did, that it was fiction - but no!

So on to the next book, The Zookeeper's Wife, by Dianne Ackerman. I am linking here a Princeton Book Review site with potential questions, just for fun. We can choose to use to not the questions contained within. I suggested that we each choose a quote from the book to share.

The next meeting date is Saturday afternoon, after Make a Difference Day. Chris Mallon will host place-to-be-determined by the weather and circumstances. Then Chris Peek hosts in November before she goes snowbirding. I am adding the link to the NCRL Book Club page here. It may be helpful in making future book choices, but we are not limited to what is already on the list.

Esther's Secret Garden

Beautiful view of the garden's while dining at Esther's. Welcome to new members Christine Peek and Judy Bell. Next gathering will be at Debbie G's.

On the Riverside

Barbara, we all thoroughly enjoyed our late morning on the Entiat River: the sounds of the rushing water, the birds singing, the blossoms emerging, the wood ducks flying overhead...and of course the brunch. You and Rob beat Gatsby for entertainment and hosting, hands down! Looking forward to our next meeting at The Pines, Saturday May 17.

Meeting at Debbie D's

Lovely French cooking Debbie. We enjoyed your meal immensely , not so the book! The only one rated lower was Close Range, short stories! Esther's comments, in absent is, were nicely stated on email. Next meeting will be at Barb's, date to be determined.
