October Book Selection
A perfect choice for our
Halloween weekend meeting. The murder of a young girl provided lots of
discussion topics including the mother's abandonment of her family, growing
up in the 70's, and our feelings about heaven and interactions from the other side.
Overwhelming positive reaction to this book (with the exception of the "Sex
scene"... which drew mixed reviews. Most felt that if Susie had the
opportunity to come back, details of the murder and the location of the body
would have been the first thing that she would have talked about.) |

Votes are
in... Here is this month's selection:
This book was like a Boston Sex in
the City-Latina style. We had lots to discuss including which of the
Sucias we could most relate to and identify with. I'm
personally looking forward to the sequel. |
Dirty Girls Social Club
by
Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez
Meeting:
Wednesday, June 30th
hosted by:
Rebecca & Candace
Menu:
A variety of delicious Mexican food
from Chili's.
A small
crew (Amy, Steph, Karen, Candace, Rebecca, Kerri & Gina) and a mellow
night. It was great just the same. We also chose the books for
the remainder of the year.
Pictures
to follow. |
 
Decided to go for both since they are very short
reads.
Two good choices for this month with lots
of material for discussion. The group was divided about 50/50 in
choosing their favorite book. While most of us liked Morrie and agreed that
it made us re-examine our lives, the reaction to 5 People was mixed.
Some were disappointed and expected to finish with an understanding of
heaven, while others among the group felt it was more about life and left it
feeling satisfied.
Consider for next meeting:
Choose the next selection at the beginning of the night rather than the end |

round-offs!

Following the lead of Oprah's Book Club
for our first selection...
one hundred years of solitude
by
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Ok... who was the ONLY anal one who actually
finished this book before the meeting?! The overwhelming consensus was that it was a
very confusing story, hard to follow due to the abundance of similar names
and weird story lines... even the avid readers among us had a tough time
with this one. At the meeting we voted on the next selection which
will be the procedure from here on out. |
