The four attendees were Emily, Melissa, Shell and Meredith. We dined on mom's version of mac-n-cheese and mashed potatoes. And dessert was a total hit - Melissa made Oreo Cookie Ice Cream Bombs. I almost licked my plate.
We talked only a little bit about the book. Melissa had done a little informal research (aka probing) about Jennifer B. from her former students at Colby. Consensus was we enjoyed the book, not our favorite, but an interesting read.
Meredith won the Book Club Baby Shower Quiz of classic children's books. And everyone managed to come up with different Dr. Seuss books!
Having only a couple people tonight made the book selection a bit easier. Because three out of four of us are declining to read the Sea (I promise I attempted, I read the first 8 pages like 3 times), we decided to put in an alternate for September.
For September we will be discussing The Sea AND
The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell (Which is a book in Shell's top 10 all time favorites).
YOU PICK WHICH ONE (OR BOTH) that you want to read.
For October it was between Breakfast with Buddha by Roland Merullo and The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery.
Breakfast with Buddha won - so go ahead and track down your copy!
Meredith will be hosting at her beautiful new home in Pepeekeo for September. The date is Monday September 14 at 6:30. As the date grows closer, check your email for directions to her house.

I found this blog from a recommendation, from one of my readers who noted that my last novel is set in Hilo. Naturally I am curious to know if your club has read it, and what sort of response the Hilo segments got. The novel is called, The Common Bond, and my literary website is here: http://doniganmerritt/typepad.com
I found this blog while searching for bookclubs in the Hilo area. Are you looking for any new members?
