Next Reading....

Thank you to Emily Murphy for lending us her little house for the rescheduled brunch edition of book club. We had a small but mighty gathering of members to discuss all the books we have been reading as of late.

Our next meeting will be Tuesday July 20th at 7pm at Julia's new house! Please mark your calendars! We will be reading a fun book to kick off the summer called, Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons by Lorna Landvik.

The women of Freesia Court are convinced that there is nothing good coffee, delectable desserts, and a strong shoulder can’t fix. Laughter is the glue that holds them together—the foundation of a book group they call AHEB (Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons), an unofficial “club” that becomes much more. It becomes a lifeline. Holding on through forty eventful years, there’s Faith, a lonely mother of twins who harbors a terrible secret that has condemned her to living a lie; big, beautiful Audrey, the resident sex queen who knows that with good posture and an attitude you can get away with anything; Merit, the shy doctor’s wife with the face of an angel and the private hell of an abusive husband; Kari, a wise woman with a wonderful laugh who knows the greatest gifts appear after life’s fiercest storms; and finally, Slip, a tiny spitfire of a woman who isn’t afraid to look trouble straight in the eye. This stalwart group of friends depicts a special slice of American life, of stay-at-home days and new careers, of children and grandchildren, of bold beginnings and second chances, in which the power of forgiveness, understanding, and the perfectly timed giggle fit is the CPR that mends broken hearts and shattered dreams.

The second book will be one of your choosing! We'll go around and do a "book report" and it may inspire you to read some other books this summer.
