Changed our date from the last Sunday of the month to August 21, since Joy, Ann, Lori, and Claire would be staying at Pembrook for the weekend. We started our discussion out on the back deck....and then the rain and wind came....and we crowded into the dining room.
Book discussed was "Major Pettigrew's Last Stand" by Helen Simonson. The majority liked this book very much. I dont believe that there was anyone who disliked the book. Majority felt that it was well written. Some quoted their favorite paragraphs or lines. The subjects in the book led to discussions about prejudice of race, nationality, and social position.
Marilyn had proposed four books for the October 30, meeting. The highest votes went to "The Bells" a novel by Richard Harvell.
Our September 25, meeting will be held at either Marilyn or Stephanie's house. They will send an email advising location a week or so ahead. Book to be discussed is "The Girl who Fell from the Sky" by Heidi Durrow.
Mary Jo volunteered to have the October 30, meeting at her B&B.
We will not have a meeting in November as it would coincide with Thanksgiving Weekend. Instead we will follow our tradition of holding our Holiday Celebration meeting on Sunday, December 4. The night before, please join Kathy at Pembrook for our annual Polar Express Elfing Excursion and Pot Luck dinner. Those south of our area are invited to spend the weekend at Pembrook.
At our December 4, Bookclub Meeting we will have a Yankee Swap and also collect new Children's books to give to the Campton Fire Department for their annual Santa Toy drive.
