October Book Club

It was a pleasure to meet in Nans new house. Everyone was amazed that she'd unpacked so quickly and that her home was so inviting given that she'd only moved in a super short time.  The bar was set mighty high....

The food was delicious as usual. Apparently we all had a sweet tooth as well since all but one dish was sweet!

The book, Vampires, Vikings, and Mailmen was a challenging book to finish an the ratings reflected that fact. No names will be used to protect the innocent.

6.5 - liked it after she got into it after page 200
3 - higher if edited a bit more
2 - not finished reading
2.5 - Chief needed more dimension, Hard to follow story line
2 - The story telling was hampered by the poor editing and mechanics
4 - Entertaining for a guy - some things didn't make sense
4 - Thought there was too much detail on things that weren't needed and wanted more detail on characters
2 - nothing linked up - jumped around  - told us but didn't show us

Next up is Andrea with Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson.

December book is Life Among Giants by Bill Roorbach.
