Dear Bookclub,
June's gathering at Diane's described in her own words:
"Book club was small but mighty: Sue Dohren, Barb Gaeto, Karen Ferrette and myself.
Barb and Karen had finished the book and I was 25% into it. I like it a lot and Sue and I encouraged full discussion by Barb and Karen who also liked the book. Great characters, and very much Isabelle Allende “formula” spirits influenced."

| Just in case those absent, myself included, missed being at Diane's, here's a culinary glance..... |
Karen kindly sent pictures and reported on the titles suggested:
"The Widow Cliquot" by Tilar J Mazzeo *chosen
"The Dinner" by Rosecrans Baldwin
"LaRose" by Louise Erdrich (revisited)
Recently, Ann Patchett was asked by Parade magazine to make a list of 75 great books from the last 75 years to commemorate Parade's 75 anniversary.:

Hesitant to declare such a list with the potential to open up the debate of what was chosen and what was omitted, Patchett did indeed comply and produced a wonderful list, printable here:

Interesting to peruse and perhaps inspirational in choosing your next read!
Hope to see you there!
Happy reading,
