February Meeting Recap

Hi ladies!

This past Wednesday, we gathered to discuss our February book 'Thunder Dog' by MIchael Hingson. We met at Playa Azul downtown. We enjoyed a great discussion and copious amounts of margaritas! Most members who attended the meeting read and absolutely loved the book! Many people commented on how inspiring and positive it was considering the events during which it took place. All in all, this was a great book choice and many said they would recommend it to a friend! Way to go Sharon!!

Susan presented books for March: 'The Sense of an Ending', 'Bent Road', and 'The Scent of Rain and Lightning' . One title was very familiar as it has been nominated two of three times before! After a quick vote, 'The Scent of Rain and Lightning' was chosen as the March book of the month!!

The Scent of Rain and Lightning

There are still 10 copies available at the WPL (click here to reserve your copy), or you can purchase it on Amazon (click here) or Barnes and Noble (click here).

I want to thank our two new members for joining us at the meeting: Ashley and Reenee. We are so happy to have you, and hope you can join us again next month!! Our next meeting will be held on Wednesday, March 27th, at 6 pm. I will be sure to send out another email closer to the date with location details and book synopsis.

Janurary Meeting Recap

Hello ladies!!

Last nights meeting went extremely well. While we had a small turnout, we have a wonderful discussion.  Everyone greatly enjoyed "The Chaperone" by Lora Moriarty. There was many surprises and twists, as well as plentiful Wichita details throughout the story.

Out of the three books nominated by Sharon (we missed you!!), the winner and February book choice is : Thunder dog : the true story of a blind man, his guide dog, and the triumph of trust at Ground Zero by Michael Hingson.  Susan has graciously volunteered to nominate books for March. Sharon, please remember to let me know what venue you choose for our February meeting.

During the meeting we discussed a few housekeeping issues: what night to hold meeting and how to nominate books. Can everyone please weigh in on the evening that works best for them? We discussed keeping the meetings on Wednesday or possibly moving them to Thursdays.  I'd love to hear your thoughts! As for nominating books, as long as we can continue to have ladies interested in nominating, we will not change procedure. If it becomes difficult to find a volunteer, we will change to suggesting a block of months (3 at a time).

Also, since our numbers have dwindled in the previous months, if there are any ladies you know of that would enjoy book club, please feel free to invite them! The more the merrier.

Happy reading!
