First book Club Meeting

Hello everyone, Firstly let me start by saying that was so much fun!! Tonight we had our first book club meeting and it was a really great evening. We talked about books we had read ones we would like to read and decided on a book to read for the next month. The book we have chosen for this month is The Wednesday Letters By Jason F Wright.

Synopsis: "The Wednesday Letters is a heartwarming story that explores the true meaning of devotion and forgiveness. It begins with the death of Jack and Laurel Cooper who, after 39 years of marriage, die in each other’s arms in the suite of the bed and breakfast they owned and ran. But the tale of these incredible people doesn’t end there.

Following their parents’ tragic deaths, Jack and Laurel’s three adult children, Matthew, Samantha and Malcolm, return to the B&B to make funeral arrangements and to sort out their parents’ things — and their own troubled lives.

After a complicated reunion, the siblings are brought together by an amazing discovery: thousands of letters their father wrote to their mother every Wednesday from the day of their marriage until the day of their deaths. As they read about the joys and sorrows of a long marriage, it’s as though the three are meeting their parents for the first time. Then, they uncover a secret that changes everything they thought they knew about their family.

Don’t miss this moving reminder that, even in this digital age, the written word still holds power."

We have decided the Last Wednesday of every month is the best time to meet. The next book club meeting will be on the 29th of October at 7:30 pm at Emma's house again. We have also decided to have a recipe exchange at the same time. We had some really Yummy Desserts this week and Next month will be the same. So come along enjoy the company, the conversation and some fantastic food I know I sure did this time and cant wait until next month!!

ENJOY THE READ!!
