September @ Saara's

There has been a run of beautiful weather this September. We all took public transit to Saara's on a perfect day to talk about The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store by James McBride. Of course that was just one of many many topics that came up and there was never a lag in the conversation. What a special feast we had: particularly noteworthy were the cheese sticks, dip and tiramisu (all homemade). Thank you, Saara!

Moving forward - we already had chosen the next two books but now we have decided where and when. On Thursday, October 24 we will be a Lynda's to talk about Roman Stories by Jhumpa Lahiri. And on Wednesday, November 20 we will be at my house (Marian) to talk about My Friends by Hisham Matar.

Some links that came up in conversation:
