From Victor Hugo: “Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face".
We met at Jane's on a bitterly cold evening for conversation and laughter. Thank you Jane for your warm hospitality. Bon voyage to all of you who are travelling this week.

We made decisions about the next several months as follows:
- On Thursday February 6th we'll meet at Jan's and talk about Hellgoing by Lynn Coady.
- On Thursday March 6th the meeting will be at Jo's. The book will be Goldfinch by Donna Tartt.
- On Thursday April 10th we'll be at Susan's talking about Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.
- Maureen will host on Thursday May 8th. The book will be The Burgess Boys by Elizabeth Strout.
- We'll be at Lynda's house on Wednesday June 11th and talking about The Maid's Version by Daniel Woodrell.
Still to be finalized are the dates and books for July at Saara's, August at Marian's and September at Wanda's.
I got the impression that some of us might want to try the recipe for trout that Saara described. Is this it?
Jo informed us about Project-Free TV.
