Happy Valentine's Day

Hello everyone, it's been a while, last June, since anything was written here. I had hoped the Facebook page would replace this, as it is more convenient but it hasn't been of much use.

Here is a recap-

You ladies did a book circle at the new Book Keeper in May '10 while I was in Jamaica. That went really well. Perhaps we should do it again?.......In June we discussed 'The Count of Monte Cristo' on Carol's back patio, which had recently been beautified for her daughter's wedding. .......July was "Too Close to the Falls". I have absolutely no recollection of where we met for this one. Help.......August saw us on my patio eating and drinking tea party fare, and discussing "Alice in Wonderland". ......In September Jane led us in a discussion of "The Scarlet Letter" by Nathaniel Hawthorne. This was our 5th Anniversary, clap clap, Leo treated us to a bottle of wine if I remember correctly and Susan at the Book Keeper sent along a gift basket...... "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" was read in October. We watched Laurie's copy of the movie at Nicole's. Laurie was mobile enough to join us and Alanna(Catherine's new daughter-in-law)(great boots) joined us as well.......Alanna led the discussion of "Little Women" by Louisa May Alcott at John's Restaurant in November and we discussed Kate Morton's "The Forgotten Garden" in December. A nice evening was had by all at Limbo's in December as well......January '11 was "The Secret Daughter" , Janes friend Jan and Laurie's new job.

Somewhere in there, Coffee Lodge Finch hosted a book signing by the ladies who wrote the book "Reading between the Wines". Thanks to all who attended and supported the evening. I found them very interesting. Their ideas about travelling together were inspirational and will hopefully give Nicole and myself some great incentive for our May trip. For those of you who haven't read this book, the book club members who are along for the ride, are referred to as 'hostages'. FYI.

So this month, February, we will be discussing "Annabel" by Kathleen Winter. At John's, dinner at 6, discussion at 7. Instead of "Reading Between the Wines", any book we would put together would have to be called, Reading Between the Bites (or chewing)

March will see us at my house for pizza and "The 39 Steps". We'll discuss the book and watch Rupert Penry Jones do his thing as John Hannay.

So ladies, feel free to comment, fill in any blanks and correct any boo boos. See you on Tuesday, not Monday, that's Valentine's Day. Have a good one.
