Seven of us were at Becky's for "the best book group pool party ever!" It was a gorgeous summer day, perfect for hanging out at the pool. We had lots of good stuff to eat, naturally: Karen's ingeniously presented fruit salad (a bowl within a bowl with ice in between), Leann fabulous rice and been salad (recipe, please!), lovely pesto crostini and smores makings supplied by our hostess, Darla's Mexican bean dip & chips, Lisa's coconut creme pie and Napoleons from King Arthur (she did a great job just getting to us, having just returned from a camping trip). Heather and I supplied healthful (well, not so much) munchies, and most all of us enjoyed the "water" to drink.
So many books were discussed and exchanged I cannot possibly do them justice. All I can say is, we've been reading!
What's Next
We completely neglected to talk logistics, so there is nothing planned at the moment. What do you think? An August meeting? Wait til September? Pick a book? Do another show-and-tell? If we wait until September, it'll have to be later in the month for me.
