Hi All,
Wednesday's meeting to discuss The Girl in the Green
Glass Mirror was very successful. We rated the book a 2.8 with our new
and improved (?) rating system. (See below) A big shout out to Jackie
for hosting, to Jen for doing a terrific job of facilitating the
discussion and for our snack volunteers. Everyone was SO GLAD to see
Terry there.
Next up is The River of Doubt by Candace Millard.
This account of Theodore Roosevelt's journey down a uncharted tributary
of the Amazon is our co-ed book club read for 2015. The meeting is at
6:15 on Friday, December 4th at my house. We will be having substantial
appetizers before the discussion and dessert after it. Ken Kellner has
graciously agreed to steer the discussion. A sign-up sheet was passed
around on Wednesday. If you did not sign up, you may contact me via
email and fill in a slot for an appetizer (most needed), a dessert or a
pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc.
Attached to this email you
will find a summary of our recently created rating guidelines which are
designed to more accurately reflect the differences between books our
group really loves and those that are just OK by fulling utilizing the
range from 1-5 and working off 3.0 being an average book. Also you will
find a super list of helpful hints for discussion leaders compiled by
Jill. Both of these documents are also available on the blog. That
address again is www.crbc.blogspot.com.
That's it for now. Where did October go?
Jan
