Happy New Year ladies,


To recap since the last post-

June '14- The Great Gatsby-F. Scott Fitzgerald-Nicole's house, Nicole led the discussion, I believe we sampled Mojitos.
July- The Bay of Spirits- Farley Mowatt- Helen's house, Helen led the discussion.
August- The Rosie Project by (I don't know and am too lazy to check)-chicken under the bridge, decamped to Helen's house because of very nasty weather.
September- North and South-Elizabeth Gaskell, Paddy Flaherty's, talked about a trip, NYC or Chicago.
October- "The Lost Sisterhood" by _______ Fortier. At John's? Pam joined us this month?
November- "The Cat's Table" by Michael Andaatje. .
December- Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell at Sicily's.

Upcoming-

This month is "The Princess Bride" (the classic tale of true love and high adventure)by William Goldman. The article I read promised a more in depth story than the movie. I'm over halfway finished and I believe the article lied. Seems much the same and there is no Cary Elwes to look at.

For February we'll give "We are the Mulvaneys" by Joyce Carol Oates a go. I've heard a lot about this book. The reviews of it are good.

Would like to do a classic in March, haven't done one since September. We're going to look over a list I copied from Book Riot. Perhaps we can choose something from there. Otherwise I'm leaning towards 'The Three Musketeers' by Alexandre Dumas.

Okay, what do you think about this for April? There is a book I'd like to try and get hold of by a Toronto journalist by the name of Peter Edwards. It's called Night Justice. It is about the Black Donnellys. They are the family that terrorized the area around Lucan then ended up being killed by a posse of locals. There is a homestead up there that you can visit. I checked out the website, it seems rather grizzly, there are fans and all kinds of people interested in the story. I just thought it would be something different for us, read the book, go out for lunch on a Sunday and take a trip out to Lucan and have a peek. We can combine it with anything else we have a fancy for in London.

Then we are at The Book Keeper in May. I believe Pam's going to sort us out for a Shakespeare play in Stratford in June.

None of this is written in stone but at this time of year it's nice to have something to look forward to.

God bless you Julie, we're thinking about you.
