January 2011 Book Club

Thank you Donna for hosting book club at your house in January. This update is over due but wanted to start the year fresh. Sarah Tag your it- you need to post an update after our February meeting. :-) January's Book club book was well attended with 13 people at Donna's to see her dressed as none other than...Cleopatra! We also had some great stories shared as always.

There were mixed reviews about how Cleopatra was portrayed some thought she was a simple-minded, love-sick, teenager others thought she was more like the mischievous, calculated, vixen one would expect from the Queen of Egypt.

Book Club will be hosted at Sarah's place in Carmel valley on Thursday February 24, 2011 at 6:30 PM, email for details: sarahhyduke@gmail.com. The book we are reading for February is Room by Emma Donoghue.

March Book Club will be held at my house in Mira Mesa, March 31, 2011 at 6:30 PM email for my details: mellosd65@aol.com We will be reading a Non-Fiction book recommended by Victoria- Nothing to Envy; Ordinary Lives in North Korea. Per Sarah it won the 2010 BBC Samuel Johnson prize.

See ya'll again tonight!
