Book list


This is our whole book list, the best I can put together. There are a few boo boos in spring 2007, (missing a book) and Gullivers' Travels is misplaced I believe. Everything else is accurate.

For newer members, who are not interested in what happened 3 years ago, the book choices for this November, December, January and February are listed at the bottom.

Cheers

At the Book Keeper



"Marianna" by Susanna Kearsley has arrived at The Book Keeper ahead of schedule! They have 6 copies put aside for us.

Nicole wonders if anyone would mind if we go back to Mondays instead of Tuesdays. She has another commitment for Tuesdays.

Watched a great movie at a great venue, Carol's basement. Thanks Carol. 'Sense and Sensibility' never sounded so good. .........Catherine was not lost, she was home from Hilton Head but in bed with a 'head'ache.

See you October 13th @ John's for 'The Crucible".

Sense and Sensibility Movie night

*


Sunday, September the 20th is good with Carol for a movie. She says either matinee or evening is good with her.

I wonder if evening would be easier for Carol? How about showing up at 7, we'll bring some dessert, perhaps a bottle of wine, watch the movie and be gone by 10? If Donna and I are lucky we might be able to stay awake til then. What do you think Carol?

If anyone prefers a different time, please let me know. If you don't hear back from me, presume it's a date. We'll see you then.
