Many books

We had a superb evening at Wanda's. Our original plan was to talk about Blackwater Lightship but the book had proved difficult to find.  So we had a sharing session instead and talked about what we have been reading recently.  We also went ahead with some plans for the next few months. Thank you so much to Wanda for hosting another lovely evening.

In January we will follow our new tradition of starting the year by meeting for dinner at a restaurant instead of holding book club. It was easy to choose Mai Bistro again, and we'll meet there at 6 pm on January 23, 2020. 

The following month we'll get back to Blackwater Lightship by Colm Tóibín again when we hope that more people will have had a chance to read it.  This will be at Susan's place on February 27th.

On March 26th we'll be at Jane's and the book will be The Dutch House by Ann Patchett.  I've been thoroughly enjoying the audiobook read by Tom Hanks that can be downloaded from the Toronto Public Library.
