One older woman talked interminably, but rarely about the book. A younger woman disliked the book because it was not about her. Another woman tried to change the location for the next meeting even though it had been held at the coffee shop for about three years and it was her first meeting. I never went back.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03323811980627840654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806671613875975371.post-34041215223008637712012-01-09T22:16:50.777-05:002012-01-09T22:16:50.777-05:00Book clubs are great.

I say go for it, listen to me talk, and show me how to avoid the excuses.Butchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01617356024199023401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806671613875975371.post-88037024657518219992012-01-09T09:00:04.936-05:002012-01-09T09:00:04.936-05:00Sounds like all kinds of fun!Sounds like all kinds of fun!Kaorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06495830655043821533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806671613875975371.post-69444352711864895512012-01-09T07:30:55.491-05:002012-01-09T07:30:55.491-05:00You're not getting out of bringing a snack!!

You cannot join up with those ten women unless you've read the entire book! You'll enjoy "A Tree . . ." and wonder why it's taken you so long to getting around to read it. Most definitely a classic - I enjoyed it just as much recently as I did about 40 years ago!! (I'd suggest passing it on to Elenka when you're done, if she hasn't read it). By the way, did you know that you need to bring a snack to share at the meeting???Mrs. Nortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13399314617193252488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806671613875975371.post-8763163035663764422012-01-09T02:50:49.184-05:002012-01-09T02:50:49.184-05:00I miss seeing evergreens dusted with snow.
