We had excellent attendance for our December 5, 2011, meeting at Pembrook. All members were present except for Celia who is spending the winter in FL and Bette who has returned to CA.
Book discussed was "Power of One" by Bryce Courtenay. Bev led our stimulating discussion. The book follows the life of a young boy from the age of five through about eighteen. We all had different thoughts which were shared. Wonder of wonders......we all liked the book. It was recommended that we read other books by Courtenay. There is a sequel to "Power of One". It is "Tandia".
Our Christmas Yankee Swap followed. Our tradition is to give "new" books. There were some interesting ones and I am sure that eventually, they will be shared.
Discussion and vote on our February read. Of the books presented by Claire, the majority voted for "The Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet" by Jamie Ford.
Our January 30, meeting will be held at Stephanie's house at 1:00 pm. The February 27, meeting will be hosted by Jane at Lincoln Green.
We had snacked and wined through our two plus hour discussion....and, then adjourned to the Big House dining room for soups, salad, and home baked bread. On a cold day in late fall, this was perfect.
All were grateful that there was no snow and clear roads provided safe travel.
Happy Holidays to all.
