Happy St. Patty's Day!
Just thought I'd post some information from last night's D83 Book Club meeting. We discussed The Shack by William P. Young and it was interesting to hear what everyone had to say. The reviews were mixed. I, for one, didn't enjoy the book at all, but after listening to the conversation, I feel that I may have been too literal when reading. Most seemed to like the book and found Young's depiction of God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit interesting.
News from the group: Carol C. is retiring this year. She passed around a lovely picture of her four grandchildren together and I must say, they're a good looking group! Carol M. is busy, busy, busy with two teenagers. Kathy is anxiously awaiting the birth of her first grandchild due at the end of the month. She promised that she'll keep us in the loop. Judy S, we miss you! Please stay in touch and we'll keep you updated about the group.
Our next book is The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society by Mary Ann Schaffer. It comes highly recommended from Carol C...her other book club read it and she enjoyed it very much. She even said that she'd read it again! We'll meet at Alfie's on Roosevelt Road in Glen Ellyn, on Monday, May 4th at 5:00. So far the two meetings we've had in the new year have been well attended, it seems that the format is working for most people.
I look forward to seeing everyone in May and until then, enjoy the beginning of warm weather! (Finally!)
