Here's the picture of our fabulous April meeting. We had 16 in attendance ... our largest group yet! The reason for the great turnout ... a call from the author, BARBARA DELINSKY! She so graciously gave us more than 30 minutes of her time .. we are so appreciative!
We all loved the discussion of While My Sister Sleeps and gaining more insight into the characters' personalities. I especially loved when it was mentioned to Barbara that Kathryn Snow wasn't one of our favorite people ... she defended her like a true friend ... which is one of the things that makes Barbara Delinsky a lovable author! Her characters are her friends! It was a memorable meeting.
Thanks again also to Janet for doing such a great job of moderating for us! And thanks also to our technical director, Laura, for use of her cell phone/speaker (and for testing ahead of time.)
Although it will be hard to keep moving up from there ... we are coming up on our ONE YEAR anniversary of being a book club. Our first meeting was May of 2008. We will be celebrating! So be sure and don't miss it ... here's the info ...
