It was a lovely August evening and we were lucky to spend it sitting in Jane's beautiful and welcoming backyard. Who could tell that the hostess had been subjected to an unsettling early morning wakeup that day (because of this)? You certainly deserved a few extra hours of sleep on Friday morning Jane.
We made some decisions about future book club meetings, but there was no change to September which will be at Janice's on the 11th. The book is A Spool of Blue Thread.
On October 16th which will be at Jo's house we decided to read The Break by Katherena Vermette.
The November book club location has been changed as we switched venues for November and December. We decided to read a classic, The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck and to meet at my house (Marian) on November 2nd.
That means that on December 13th we will be at Lynda's house. We haven't chosen a book for that date.
