OCTOBER 15 Meeting at Grace's

It was a cold and rainy night, in fact it was "colder than a witches tit" as someone once said.  However once inside Grace's home we were greeted with warm Brei, a hearty Italian squash soup, cream cheese pizza and  coffee to warm the cockles of one's heart. Anyway, we all felt a bit better after eating some warm food.

After dessert we began our discussion of "Scarlet Feather" by Maeve Binchy. The book contained many characters, some interesting, some hateful, some mean and others loving, caring, resourceful or clever. Take your pick there were a bunch.  Most enjoyed the book but agreed that there were too many characters and some could have been eliminated without detriment to the story. Grace quizzed us on the book which I believe we did fairly well. The discussion then went in several directions but as always was lively and fun.

Next month we will meet at my house and read "Angela's Ashes" by Frank McCourt.  There are several copies at the Martinsburg Public Library. 

I would like to remind everyone that if you can not attend a meeting, please contact the hostess to let them know you are not going to be there.  Also, if you are finished reading the book and wish to pass it along, either send a comment in the blog or send an email to the group.

Enjoy the book and see you in November.
