February 2013 Meeting

Hello Book Clubbers!
  In Jan's absence, I'm sending the updates from the February meeting... and what a fun meeting it was.  In fact, Jan wasn't absent at all!  She and Marilyn joined us via FaceTime during the discussion & social part of the meeting - they even shared a glass of wine with us!

This month's book was The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh - seems folks enjoyed it, it came away with an overall rating of 3.8 (out of 5) because of it's interesting characters, themes of love, trust, and family, and, especially, the intertwining of meanings of flowers throughout the story.  Many agreed, this isn't just a novel, but a reference book for future bouquets!
Many thanks to Loraine for hosting the evening and Marty for leading the lively discussion.

Upcoming meetings look a little like this...

March 20th at Sue's house.  Please be sure to RSVP to Sue if you can attend.
The book is The Kitchen House by Kathleen Grissom, discussion being lead by Jackie
And food for the night...
Appetizers:  Jen & Marty
Desserts:  Shirley & Kathy
Wine: Carol, Kathy, and anyone else who would like to add to the collection (the CRBC cupboard is bare)

Moving on to April...
The meeting will be on April 24th at Terry's house (again, RSVP, everyone!)
The book is The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern, discussion lead by Jill & Jen (or just Jen, or just Jill, TBD)
We didn't pick food people, we'll do that in March (or... feel free to volunteer by replying to Terry, Jan, or me)

It was good to hear that our sister Book Clubbers are on the mend... and that we have a future member due to arrive VERY soon.  Congratulations, on your soon-to-be new arrival, Natalie & Rory.  Speedy delivery!

The calendar says we're only 16 days away from Spring.  Till then, stay warm and happy reading!
~ Jill
