We've been known to knock back a bottle a piece, or at least it sometimes seems like it. I got my club to read the Ron Rash novel after hearing about it on your blog. It wasn't a well-attended meeting, but those there seemed to enjoy the treacherous Serena.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328138894440374230.post-34395402963238744752011-11-22T11:20:10.943-05:002011-11-22T11:20:10.943-05:00You know, if you were a screen writer and the show...You know, if you were a screen writer and the show was about your hood, I'd arrange my schedule around every episode.

Zowie. <br /><br />That reminds me of the time when I was a chemist working for Bayer, and one of our contract labs couldn't finish the study because the FBI had confiscated all of their computers. Apparently the head researcher had murdered her ex husband and shoved his body into a vat of hydrochloric acid intending the hazardous waste truck to come and dispose of the evidence. It is so jarring (and in a macabre way, entertaining) when crazy B-movie plots intrude into real life.AlGalMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10079585115981856591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328138894440374230.post-38233383435164803882011-11-22T07:52:29.756-05:002011-11-22T07:52:29.756-05:00A book club meeting without wine is a travesty.A book club meeting without wine is a travesty.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14995260386315141412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328138894440374230.post-45379093501816897302011-11-22T07:39:24.697-05:002011-11-22T07:39:24.697-05:00Wow, drama in the hood.

Sounds like the book club will be a pleasant group to meet and discuss with. I wonder what they will think of Serena? It's a good, moody,surprising book. I haven't read The Red Queen, but many other Phillipa Gregory books. She's good and the period she writes about is rich. Should be fun. I want to borrow it after you read it.delainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01519073646760104147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328138894440374230.post-66365299126184980102011-11-22T06:57:01.615-05:002011-11-22T06:57:01.615-05:00Also, I enjoy the Phillipa Gregory books!

I recently read The White Queen--about the wife of Edward IV, and the mother of the princes locked in The Tower--it was fascinating!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07969357513275063157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328138894440374230.post-37325365913111296892011-11-22T06:50:26.420-05:002011-11-22T06:50:26.420-05:00That email!!

Bizarro world!<br /><br />You have to stay in this book club forever! I'm glad they were nice ladies. Btw, can you post your opinions on how to lead discussions on books? This is your field, after all. I'm starting up a book club at the beginning of next year, so a few pointers would be good. I mean, I don't wanna make it like a senior seminar, but lively discussion would be nice. :)Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07969357513275063157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328138894440374230.post-54323848462211379982011-11-22T00:45:43.882-05:002011-11-22T00:45:43.882-05:00Phillipa Gregory?

Do love my historical fiction, though, especially set in Merry Olde England.<br /><br />Must add Serena to my list, although I'm put off by the Amazon review that hyphenates rattle-snakes. <br /><br />Sounds like normal book club fodder, yeah, EXCEPT for that email. What the what? Mortified, indeed!!Aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11061040044649042779noreply@blogger.com
