October 2016 Bookclub News

Dear Bookclub,
Palm Springs was our little oasis for a very magical weekend. The La Quinta Resort endeared us: ripe for exploring, very accommodating as a backdrop to good conversations, hospitable as a dining and drinking haven, tolerant of our rambunctious enthusiasm and a placeholder for sweet memories.

 Missing our fellow members, the little sisterhood represented spent a good deal of time planning future events and certainly made no certain plans! We want more and we want everyone :)

Morgan's in the Desert

 Sunnylands, the former Annenberg winter home turned retreat, provided a stimulating entrance for our imaginations into the world of high powered meetings.

 In the foundation's own words: "Sunnylands convenes global leaders and prominent experts for retreats and meetings that result in meaningful outcomes."

 The significance and history, very recent actually, was jaw-dropping. We did pick up our jaws and tested them, chattering again for 48 more hours. A gorgeous setting for continued good work set our appreciation off the charts.

Next up: Patrick Ryan's "The Dream Life of Astronauts", a refreshing read as a collection of short stories.

Please enjoy Maureen Corrigan's review from mid-summer on Fresh Air:

Hope to see you at Martha's on Tuesday October 18!
Happy reading,
