November 17 Meeting at Grace's

We met on November 17, 2022, at my house to reorganize our book club.  Hard to believe we are starting our 15th year.  I want to thank all of our members for their continued dedication and participation.

Dricka will be leaving the book club since she is moving back to NJ in December.  However, she still wants us to share our books with her each month.  

My daughter Sally & daughter in law Candida helped prepare the dinner and made us special signature cocktails with Prosecco, cranberry ginger ale and fresh cranberries.  We had pecan pie, cookies and Affogato’s for dessert.

We will be meeting on Monday, December 12, 12:30 at Kings Restaurant in Inwood for our Christmas outing this year.  Edna was calling for a reservation.

The Book we read this month “The Truth of The Matter was written by Leigh Fleming a local author.  Leigh joined us for dinner at our meeting.  I believe everyone enjoyed the book.  It was a quick read.  What I liked and others agreed it was not too wordy and not too many characters.  Leigh did tell us she did family research and the characters in this book were similar or followed  her family’s history.  Some found it hard to believe that the father could make such a dramatic change  towards his daughter and life after having a visit with his mother.  Leigh stated she likes her books to end on a happy note.  I like that too.

Hope everyone had a very Happy Thanksgiving.  And wishing everyone the Merriest Christmas ever.  Safe travels throughout the holidays. 

LOVE TO ALL, Grace

SEE YOU ALL IN THE NEW YEAR.♥️

October 27 Meeting at Carol's

The October meeting was held at my house on Thursday, October 27th.  We had our usual Halloween costume meeting with a variety of characters in attendance.  The food was delicious as I bought everything instead of cooking (go figure).   The book was the sequel to “The Bean Tree” which we read in September. It was nice to follow Taylor and Turtle’s life through to a conclusion. I think most people liked the book even if it did end a little too abruptly with everything tied into a nice bow. It wasn’t quite believable in how everything came together so quickly. A Halloween goody bag was provided to all.
