Kris picked a local author for this month's read -  "Seneca Wood" by Gary Clites.  Sounds good, but we'll have to give it the thumbs up or down at our next meeting.  Many copies in county, you just have to get one down to our library. 

We had two new peeps this past meeting - Janice and Merle.  So glad you guys joined us and we hope that you can make it to the next meeting. 

Fun discussion on Skylight Confessions by Alice Hoffman.  I went to the book club thinking that I was not really bowled over by the book, but once we discussed it, I had to re-evaluate my opinion.  It really was a good book.  Just had to do a little more thinking and connect the dots than I had done.

Happy reading everyone and we will see you at the next meeting on Wednesday, November 4 @ 7PM at the Starbucks in Lusby. 

Enjoy your week!
