August 21 - 'Migratory Birds'

Six of gathered at Darla's "pool" - aka her living room table! The sky was threatening and air conditioning just too inviting. It was great to hang out with Darla in her new digs and share pizza, popcorn, fancy mustard and crackers from Becky, tzatziki and gazpacho by Karen, olives and cucumbers ala Lisa, and a fabulous cheese-pastry dessert that I cannot remember the name of - please remind us Michelle, it was great.

I'm not sure how many of us finished the book but we talked quite a bit about it. Nobody seemed to like the characters; perhaps that makes for a good discussion about motivations and story arcs.

As per usual, many other books came up. Please chime in with what you talked about; I didn't write them down, so the only one I can report is the one I'm reading: Ghost Songs by Regina McBride, which is coming out October 4.
