June Book Club

Thanks Nancy and Becky for hosting book club last night. I think we all enjoyed 44 Scotland Street. I love the variety of books we read.

Our next read is The Help by Kathryn Stockett. It is a very popular, not very available from the library sort of book. There are a few copies around so we'll try to read fast and pass them. If you would like to order one from Amazon, let me know by the weekend. They are $13.72 hardcover from Amazon. I am not sure if they are at Costco but they might be.

Next book club will be at Linda's house July 6. On August 3, we'll go to Chris's house.

Happy reading!
