Hope you got your reading sneakers on... 'cuz you'll be racing to get the two March books read by the 23rd, if you haven't read them already.
... but I'm getting ahead of myself.
Many thanks to all who made Wednesday's meeting another successful evening: To Loraine for opening her lovely home... to Marilyn and Nancy for leading the discussion... and to those who provided snacks, desserts, and drinks. (I really should know better by now and NOT eat dinner on Book Club nights). Thank you all! Thank you, thank you!
The book, House Girl by Tara Conklin scored a better-than-average rating (overall, a 3.38), but the range was wide - from a 2 to a 5. Consensus was that is was a good book with interesting characters (many of whom could be a book all by themselves), but not one of the most memorable stories. It was interesting to hear the discussion about the parallels between the lives of Lina and Josephine (and contrast the undeniable differences). Perhaps we'll see more from this Lawyer-turned-Writer in the future... more Caleb, perhaps??
As for next month... get ready, it's a Dual-Book meeting!

Finally - a couple announcements/requests:

Happy reading!
