Happy Summer, Reading Friends!
Our latest Book Club meeting took place on Monday, June 22nd at Alfie's in Glen Ellyn. Carol C, Loretta, Judy Shaefer, Joan Lizik, Lynn Shaber and myself met and talked about All We Ever Wanted Was Everything. The consensus was that the book basically stunk. We all had trouble identifying with the characters and the problems they faced. To be honest, I never finished the book and probably won't...it just doesn't appeal to me.
Our next meeting will be Monday, August 3rd. We're reading Starvation Lake by Bryan Gruley this time...it is a mystery...something different! We'll meet at the Country House in Lisle at 5:30. The book is available in paperback. I found it at Barnes and Noble last night. Other titles that came up for discussion were: Olive Kitteridge, The Road, A Reliable Wife, The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo.
I look forward to seeing everyone at the next meeting. In the meantime, stay cool...it is going to be 95 today, so jump in the pool or sit in front of the air conditioning.
