Hi Ladies! Here are the book choices for August. . .

Brighten The Corner Where You Are (Fred Chappell)

Double Bind (Chris Bohjalian)

Church Folk (Michele Andrea Bowen)

I'm waiting on a couple more votes. So far, the votes are very widespread. It shall be interesting!! I hope everyone is staying cool!

Breath, Eyes, Memory

Tonight's Book Club was special for many reasons. One, we got to meet Baby Connor (who is beautiful and is such a good baby)! Two, we all enjoyed the book. Three, this is the last book club that will meet at my current house. Hooray!

We enjoyed zucchini muffins, pesto pizza, spinach and artichoke dip, quesadillas, and a wonderful chicken pie that Fernanda's husband made. Dessert was fruit parfait.

I was too busy to print questions and our discussion ended up pretty loose, but good. I love reading and do it on my own (well, I did before I became a mother!), but I especially love book club for the opportunity it gives me to hear different perspectives and interpretations.

I just had to set off her name...anyway, I would be interested to hear if anyone reads her other book. Let us know how it is. We missed you Carly and Guylene, and we hope to see you next time.

Looking forward to the next choices, Libby!
