Taken down by a nasty flu, our esteemed hostess, Sue kept us on track from afar, communicating her inability to have us at her home days ahead and sharing her chosen titles for an upcoming selection. Julie rallied to the rescue and treated us to 'bar' food (salad bar, dessert bar - do not be fooled - there was nothing bar-like about the fine china and dining room setting) in the spirit of the pub references throughout our book, "One Plus One" by Jojo Moyes.Not all had finished but all enjoyed the tangled tale of the unconventional family and as predictable as it played out, the journey was in the end, a good read.
After viewing Julie's newly refurbished garage, we retired to the dining room for dessert and to vote on Sue's book selections. We also discussed an upcoming trip to the 1906 Lodge in Coronado to commemorate our 25th anniversary. It was decided to try to find a Thursday - Saturday in April and have the men join us for dinner and the night on Friday. I've collected lots of input from everyone (thank you!) and then got waylaid by a nice visit this week from my parents. Will get back on track and see if I can solve the puzzle ASAP! Not sure that it will be April between availability at 1906 and members. Stay tuned.
The considered list of Sue's suggestions:
"The Boston Girl" by Anita Diamant
"A Paris Apartment" by Michelle Gable
"The Girl on the Train" by Paula Hawkins (*chosen)
Happy Reading!
