More books









Book Cub update:
Our book for August, that was discussed in Sept., was picked by Linda. The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck is considered a classic . It was a good read. When we met we had an "Oriental Theme" and we feasted on P.F. Chang's, Lieu's, sushi and I made crab rangoon and a cake. It was so delicious. I brought my camera to document the evening but had such a great time, I forgot to take pictures.








Kelly chose the September book, Sarah's Key by Tatiana De Rosnay. It is about the Vel’ d’Hiv’ roundup in Paris of all the Jews in WWII and it intertwines the story of a girl taken in the roundup in 1942 and a modern day writer asked to do a magazine article on the 60th Anniversary.








So my pick for the November book is The Friday Night Knitting Club by Kate Jacob. It is very light hearted chick lit, I hope it will be perceived as a nice break from some of the heavier novels we have been reading lately.
I am really enjoying it and am almost finished reading it. I listened to her second book "Comfort Food" on my trip up to DC and really liked that, also.

I have put in a request to have the author call us during our book club, I think that would be very exciting!!!

I love all of your literary suggestions. Perhaps one day I'll actually get around to reading them-maybe once my work load diminishes. :)
