The six of us who made it to Tampico
We actually covered a lot of material… So maybe not all of it was about the book but this group never stays on one topic for long.
No one can call our group dull. I hope everyone who is /was traveling has a safe trip, Kathy if you’re reading this I hope you’re feeling better soon you were on our minds and for those who are or they’re spouses who are having surgery.. I hope all goes well.
Oh you want to hear about the book and the meeting. Hmmm…..
Susan was surprised when I jumped over about 4 other people and said do you have a book you’d like to announce no one else is ready or have passed on their turn to choose at this time. Think fast.
See I told you everyone should Stop, Think and put a book title in the back of their mind so at a moments notice you’ll be ready if I call on you. See see I told you so. So anyway Susan looked at the best seller list and thought mmm Janet Evanovich everyone likes/liked her Stephanie Plum series so let’s try Lizzy and Diesel series. She chose Wicked Business by Janet Evanovich. This was a no thrills all fluff book.
Wicked Business was very light hearted and almost childlike in writing. The story line makes you think of Stephanie Plum and Ranger with sexual tension between the two, the macho guy and the not so brave almost clutsy girl but that’s as far as the similarities go. And all the characters have some sort of magical mystery power. I wouldn’t call it fantasy just silly. Maybe this is there alter kid ego’s. Wicked Business was cute and silly. We all had to laugh at the hex Glo put on Hatchett.. All he could do is fart. She did reverse that one. Kinda stinky ya know. Gotta love Carl the monkey with his unique personality and how he’s able to understand the human language. He’s got to be one of a kind. I vaguely remember him showing up in one of the Stephanie Plum books but can’t remember which one. Unfortunately the characters and story line was lacking in this book compared to Evanovich’s other books.
The next to choose was Patrick and he wasn’t able to attend and emailed me to go to the next person.
And the next two weren’t present so it landed in Barbara’s lap who was present.
So her choice…………….imagine sound of trumpets……
Dry by Augustin Burroughs
It’s a memoir. Sounds pretty interesting
She threw alternative book choice should you decide you just can’t read Dry or want to read both it’s up to you.
Both the below books are by Tatiana De Rosnay
Sarah’s Key by Tatiana De Rosnay
Goal Meeting date will be Tuesday September 25th .
Next to choose will be Patrick, Suzanne, Angie or Brenda. Each of you need to have a book ready just in case and everyone after that. You never know how far down the list I have to go.
So until next time …
Happy Reading……………
