FEBRUARY BOOK

I heard from several members that were having trouble finding the book we had chosen for February. Sorry about that! Going forward, we will check before we vote and be sure that the book is available.

So let's go with another book that was nominated ... (and I just checked to make sure, and it is available at Amazon and also at Borders!)

Read the synopsis below the book. I think you're going to want to run out and get this one today!

"Forty years ago, Harriet Vanger disappeared off the secluded island owned and inhabited by the powerful Vanger family. There was no corpse, no witnesses, no evidence. But her uncle, Henrik, is convinced that she was murdered by someone from her own deeply dysfunctional Vanger clan. Disgraced journalist Mikael Blomqvist is hired to investigate."

Sounds like a great mystery!!!

JANUARY 2009 MEETING

Here is our January group! I hope everyone had as much fun as I did! Domestic Affairs was a great book for us. We haven't had a book in a while that everyone liked, so it was fun discussing this one. Everyone who read it liked it! We really liked the fact that there was so much going on in the book, with lots of characters and side stories, it was a great read!

The discussion was a little different because we had a few people that hadn't read the book and one person who hadn't finished it yet, so we sort of told the story to them and added our opinions as we went along. I thought it was a lot of fun.

We had 2 new members (or should I say prospective members) ... I sure hope they come back! Welcome Kathy and Myra! They will be a great addition to the group!

And now to what you really want to know ... the book for February. We have been wanting to branch out and read a mystery ... so that's what we picked. The book is titled "The Lady Godiva Murder" by Laurie Moore.

Don't be scared off by the book cover ... as they say "You can't judge a book by it's cover." It does look different ... (not exactly the ice cream sundae look that we have chosen before)!

So even if you aren't "into" mystery ... let's all give it a try!
