Club Pulitzer!!

Elva - another amazing book club!

Yes we were a smaller group, only seven of us but you'd never know that if you were a fly on the wall listening to all the conversation around the book.  Elva - the meal was delicious and you seemed to be a stress-free host which is amazing considering you have two young children.  Thank God for husbands! Thanks so much for hosting, it was such a fun evening.

Carol - your phone call ensuring we all knew what to discuss was wonderful and your presence was missed... Laura read the wrong book so she wasn't able to guide us as to all the religious symbolism... we did manage to discuss the family names of Devine vs Seller and the book title of Galore... if you're able to book us time with the author our question list is endless!  A good book choice even though I personally didn't think I liked the book... loads of discussion which in my opinion makes it a perfect book club choice.

Just so there's no confusion next month we are reading.... The Pale King!  Enjoy!

The Slap on TVO Monday's @10pm

Starting this Monday June 4th the Australian drama "The Slap" is on @10pm if you have a PVR.  I think it's an 8part series and have no idea if it's worth watching or not but likely worth checking out.
