Women talking about Women Talking

The rain never let up all evening, contributing to the cozy atmosphere on Janice's porch.  We were able to enjoy another book club with nobody missing - always a happy bonus on book club evenings. Thank you to Janice for being such a gracious hostess. And here is the sun this morning.

We will meet next on Thursday, August 1st at Jo's house. No book has been assigned. We'll share with each other what we have been reading.

Following that will be a discussion of Frying Plantain by Zalika Reid-Benta. This will be at my house (Marian) on Thursday, September 5th.

We also set aside Thursday, October 3rd when we'll meet at Maureen's to talk about Madame Victoria by Catherine Leroux.
