A group of seven gathered at Karen's for our discussion of A Reliable Wife. Lisa made a yummy multi-layer dip and Mary Beth brought hummus for appetizers. Karen served two delicious soups, minestrone and split pea and [a root-vegetable-whose-name-escapes-me], rounded out by bread from Heather and a salad from me. For dessert, Becky made apple dumpling thingies for dessert that were the bomb.
Everyone liked the book except for our hostess, who hated it! Having diverse opinions always makes the discussion more interesting, so thanks, Karen! Naturally the conversation segued to other books, and Karen in particular recommended a book I didn't write down. Karen, could you please remind us? There were also many remembrances of Flowers in the Attic, a scary book a bunch of us had read as teenagers (your humble scribe not among them).
Thanks to Karen's poodle puppy Maggie, whom we were so happy to meet, much talk centered around animals. Aside from owning dogs, cats, parakeets, and goats (at the moment; there have been more) Heather is a dog whisperer! Who knew! We also talked about having a book group meeting at Heather's that we started calling "boob group." (You had be there, but it was hilarious!)
