July 2 - 'The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry'

Susan hosted a small group for lots of news sharing and munching and, oh yeah, talking about the book! Susan provided us with multiples: two yummy sangrias, two delicious quiches, and a dozen or more wonderful chocolate chip cookies. We also had a lovely arugula salad from Karen, mustard potato salad from me, cheeses & with most interesting and tasty crackers from Leann and Karen, a light and lovely strawberry custard pie from Becky.

It seemed everyone enjoyed the book, although we had our qualms. Susan wished there had been more to the characters, for instance. We all loved the policeman, though. We really did discuss it for quite a while, but alas and alack, I was not taking notes.

Next Meeting
...is book group at the pool! Becky suggested a Sunday in August and that's as far as we got. We also did not pick a book. I've been looking at the best books of the summer list, and I am most intrigued by Rainbow Rowell's Landline. Anybody else have a title they'd like to suggest? We could then do a Doodle poll.
