We had a wonderful visit together at Michelle’s home last night and really missed all of you who could not be there. The universal truths found in The Alchemist are indeed hidden treasures worth seeking and we enjoyed discussing it together. Welcome back to our friend Jenna Lake. She is one of the original members of this book club and we are thrilled to have her coming again.
Book club will be changing from Tuesday to Wednesday nights next year. We will meet the first Wednesday of every month. A hosting schedule was put together for next year but there are still some openings. We will look to complete that at our next meeting together.
We wanted to continue the tradition of a movie night in January. We have some ideas on a gathering place for that and will get details out soon.
Looking ahead for February, Debbie Mullin will be hosting our book club. She has chosen Daughter of the Forest by Juliet Marillier. This book has been hard to find in a library but is available on Amazon. I will do a review on that next month.
In the meantime, keep reading and enjoy your Christmas season with friends and family. Here are some suggestions for reading from last night:
