Book Club!

I found a book club!

They meet once a month on Monday night at our local library, it just started last night, the first meeting.

We discuss Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World by Vicky Myron.

They have already picked the next few month's books and I hope it is a fun group, everyone was very nice.

The next book is Double Bind by Chris Bohjalian

Broken for You

by Stephanie Kallos

This book started out good, slowed down in the middle and then had quite a few twists in the end. I couldn't put it down in the last 100 pages or so. I stopped reading midway because it got kind of droll and boring but I decided I have to fnish a book! I hadn't finished one in awhile.

Margaret Hughes is a wealthy woman who decides she needs to have someone in her large home and she has a brain tumor. She gets a response to an ad and invites Wanda to live with her and they become fast friends. Wanda''s haunted past and uniqueness as a theater stage manager goes well with Margaret's odd collection of glass, porcelain and antiques. They become good friends. Well, I'd go on but really you need to read it to find out about Wanda's life, what happens to Margaret with her tumor and what happens to all of her money and collection of things.
