Thursday night at Maureen's

Didn't that evening fly by with such an interesting book to talk about?  Thank you Maureen for a great time.

Next month we'll be at Lynda's talking about The Maid's Version by Daniel Woodrell.  Here he is telling about his book:




A reminder that the date for this evening is Wednesday June 11th.

We chose dates for the summer months.  In July we'll be at Saara's house on on Tuesday the 15th.  The book will be The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry by Rachel Joyce.

In August, instead of my place (Marian) we're planning an excursion to the Islands.  Did we decide to skip going to my place, or re-schedule that for September?  There should be lots of time to decide that before September.  Anyway, the date will be Thursday the 21st.  We didn't choose a book, since the situation might make our usual conversation difficult.

Other books mentioned were:
