Baron had challenged us to post to the blog as well as comment so here I go! Sorry to hear Baron has been under the weather but on the bright side it should have allowed him more time to read! I enjoyed the business and book review posted by Baron and Archimedes- as always a good job on both! I have cast my vote for the rating of "The Road To Wellville" but did not select who I hated most as T.C. Boyle's name was not on the list!!! We should have known a book written by an author with the middle name Coraghessan would be questionable! In all fairness although it wasn't my favorite book club selection I did gain new knowledge. In the end learning is important to me no matter how painful!
I too would like to thank Cat and JB for hosting the meeting and for the wonderful food. Hubby enjoyed the cookies Cat sent home with me (they didn't last long)! I'm really excited about the shirts with our book club logo on them and appreciate all the hard work Duece has put into this project - and of course Baron's excellent artwork. Don't be humble Baron - I saw the picture over the mantle! I will think hard on new names for Bean and Taz although my first thought would be "sweetie" and "sugar" I really don't think they would go for that.
I'm looking forward to our next get together at the mansion. I am a little over halfway through "American Nations" and hope my brain will do it justice! My goodness what I didn't know is staggering! Keeping my fingers crossed that I will get Beans next selection read also. Till our next meeting "onward spirits". Indy
Well done Indy! Thanks for posting and congrats on your inaugural post! I will add the author to the hate list so you can vote accordingly. I've read the intro of American Nations and I'm excited for the rest of it.
ReplyDeleteWay to go, Indy! I'm so proud of you! Have you slowed your reading pace now that it has (finally!) warmed up? I am behind on our new book because Bean and Taz have started soccer, so it seems like we are on the go all the time! Not to complain, because they were starting to get cabin fever and it is great that they are running off some of their never-ending supply of energy. Looking forward to the next meeting!
ReplyDeleteI have definitely slowed down on my reading. Spring projects are under way not to mention the beginning of house guest season!! The next few weeks will see no less than thirteen coming and going at different times. Lots of cleaning and cooking associated with that. I remember the days of transporting kids here and there - fun times - enjoy! We'll carry you on the book discussion if need be!
