Two books


What a winter we are having this year! Let's take heart with the first official day of spring this weekend. We were to meet at Saara's in February but had a last minute cancellation due to snow. It actually snowed yesterday again when we met at Susan's but the snow wasn't enough to interfere with our meeting. Susan offered us a cozy soup and sandwich lunch and some special delicacies for dessert - yum!  We discussed the two very different books - Pachinko and Pick a Colour

Since we missed going to Saara's in February we will go there next month. Jane will have to choose a later date. On Thursday April 16 we will go to Saara's at noon to talk about The Correspondent by Virginia Evans.

On Wednesday May 13 at noon we will meet at Wanda's. The book will be What We Can Know by Ian McEwan.

Pub Lunch


 It was a remarkably fine day in January to meet for lunch at The Duke of York. After a super meal followed by dessert - photo is sticky toffee pudding with vanilla ice cream on the side - we did some planning for our future meetings. 

Here's what I recorded in my calendar. Let me know if there are any mistakes since our negotiations about time and place became quite confusing. 

We had already decided to meet at Saara's on Wednesday, February 18 at noon. The book is Pachinko by Min Jin Lee.   

On Wednesday, March 18 we decided to meet at Susan's to talk about Pick a Colour by Souvankham Thammavongsa.

We will be at Jane's on Thursday, April 16 to talk about The Correspondent by Virginia Evans.  

And on Wednesday, May 13 we will go to Wanda's. My notes don't include a book title for this date but there's plenty of time to come up with one.
