Book Club 2018 Potluck

Thank you Sheila and Mark for throwing open your doors for our annual Christmas get together. Your hospitality was on point! 
I think it is safe to say the evening was a huge success and a perfect kick off to everyone's holiday season. Nice to hang out with the boys - who knew they could be so funny!!

2018 Is Almost a Wrap!

The sum total of our 2018
accomplishments are:

They Left Us Everything by Plum Johnson*
Whiskey and Charlie by Annabel Smith
The Zookeeper's Wife by Diane Ackerman
A Man Called Ova by Fredrik Backman
Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley
The Cellist of Sarajevo by Steven Galloway
A Home for Unwanted Girls by Joanna Goodman*
Esther the Wonder Pig by Steve Jenkins
Cry the Beloved Country by Alan Paton**

OK - maybe we managed to pull a few other things off...

We also attended three movies together as a group including Book Club, Crazy Rich Asians and A Star is Born.

I hope everyone enjoyed the titles and I look forward to sharing more titles and memories in 2019.
