Dame Agatha is Next!


I'll admit that we gave Ella short shrift, but we had fun sipping our tea and nominating our next books to read.


Thank you, birthday girl Alexa, for not only coming to the meeting with seconds to spare before your game...but also bringing brownies!!!


The overwhelming winner for our next book was And Then There Were None, which was written  by Agatha Christie in 1939. I've ordered copies through other libraries. Let me know if you need one. The date of our next meeting is March 22.


If you've already read this one, how about reading another of her books -- there are soooo many -- and telling the rest of us about it?


The book for our April meeting will be The Hunger Games.


Other things we need to do at our March meeting:
  • Vote for our other books. The leading candidates are Doll People, Skellig, Night Tourist and the Mysterious Benedict Society.
  • Get feedback on the Cillian story.
Stay well, dear ladies!

We Knew Cillian When

Thanks to all of you who agreed to read my friend Colleen's book, Cillian his Adventures on Causeway Island. She is so excited to get your reaction to it!

I'll  bring copies to our showing of Ella Enchanted next week and our regular book club meeting the following week.
