Kim's home beautifully glowed-Thanksgiving (with a smidge of Christmas along her eaves). An amazing spread in her kitchen led us to spread first to the dining room and then to the living room, enveloped in her plush hospitality. King's "Euphoria" was hardly debated; the enjoyment of the exposure to anthropologists and the Mead/Bateson fact-checking led our discussion-lite.
Selection suggestions were fantastic and hopefully, the remaining two will be suggested again:
"Fates and Furies" by Lauren Groff (*chosen)
"The Japanese Lover" by Isabel Allende
"The Twelve Tribes of Hattie" by Ayana Mathis

Our much anticipated Christmas gathering at Martha and Dave's is just around the corner!
"Butcher's Crossing"by John Williams is our December selection; a pre-20th century historical novel, rich in language, thought and appreciation of nature. Please read the amazing community reviews in goodreads:

Don't forget to RSVP to Martha with your party food contribution. Also, we'll participate in honoring a local literary need for our holiday gift. We decided upon donating to the Escondido Children's Museum. Please bring an unwrapped, be-ribboned children's book and/or a monetary donation (they are in the midst of a fund drive to purchase their building and all funds will be matched!):

Happy reading!
