Book Club was wonderful last night--of course we knew it would be. Great friends, great discussions and great food. What better way to spend a Friday night.
The Chili Queen by Sandra Dallas was a relaxing and enjoyable book after a very tense and emotional book in September. Our tradition has been to read a banned book each September in celebration of banned books. This year we read Sophie's Choice by William Styron. While the book had much to offer it was a heavy, emotional read. It was relaxing this month that the conversations, book and otherwise were relaxing and calm.
In addition to all the talking and snacking we put together a list for the next fifteen months of Book Club. Yes, not a year, but a year and a quarter. Seven members were in attendance this month, a rare treat since one of our members hasn't been at a lot of meetings this year. We each chose two books (14) and then the group chose a banned book.
I won't list the fifteen books here, you will hear all about them as we move through the upcoming months.
The first Friday in November we will be discussing We Were the Mulvaneys by Joyce Carol Oates. Over the years we seem to have read several by her, but no one is complaining.
