2020 10-15 The Giver of Stars by Jojo Moyes hosted by Gaye

    Well I sure hate that I had to miss this meeting. Looks like y'all had plenty of fun. And I see Gaye got her pig center piece.  LOL.  I'm guessing it's a cake... 

I really enjoyed this book. Can't believe Alice's mother being so cold and the father in law needed to be beat. Couldn't believe Bennett didn't do more. I think this was discussed but I think Bennett is weak and insecure being under his dad's thumb. All it took was the father yelling through the wall when Bennett and Alice were about to do the deed to kill the moment forever. But sure didn't mind telling his father about Alice's attempt to satisfy her husband.

I was looking at the reviews and there seems to be some discussion about the book's similarity to another book called "The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek".  May have to try to read to check it out.  

This book was about sisterhood and overcoming  

hardships as they presented themselves. The book was based on historical stories of Horseback Libraries in Kentucky.  The joy, the grief, the friendships and the importance of reading were shared.

Jan was present and announced her book choice.... Dear Edward by Ann Napolitano. The meeting will be December 5th at Jan's Home in Round Top.

Can't wait. Hope to see everyone there. If there's anything you want me to add to this post let me know and I will.

Next to Choose:   Jay Jay, Kathy, Lauren, Lisa, Pam, Sandy, Susan, Suzanne 

Until next meeting...
