Mays Book Club
I guess I need to pay more attention but I had no idea we changed the book club date for May. I kept checking the blog all weekend looking for details of yesterdays book club and was very confused when I didn't find them. It was only when I logged on today to see if someone had posted next months book that I saw Laura's comment and put it all together. I know I am supposed to facilitate the conversation this month but I am unavailable on May 9th. I know you all come prepared with online research about each book and I know you will have no problem discussing the book with out me. Enjoy your discussion and I will see everyone in June (assuming we are sticking with June 6th).

May's Book
First, thank you Faith for hosting a fantastic book club night. The food, the company and the conversation were all to the highest book club standard. Thanks too to Lupina for sharing you with the group. She was pretty gracious about us interfering in her prime time.
Melissa announced the book for May is The Inheritance of Loss by Kiran Desai. It won the Booker award and a few other awards when it came out. It is a story of the continuing political and personal impacts of colonialism.
Our next meeting will be May 9 (note - I updated this from an earlier posting - it was always May 9 - I can't read the Blog) hosted by Elva. Mark your calendars. Also note that we will be coordinating our schedule for next year. There is no selector or host for June so we will be organizing the schedule beginning with June. Come prepared with a book choice and we will either decide jointly or we may begin the new rotation with June. There was also discussion about whether to add new members to the club. Again, we will discuss this further and decide if we want to add new people in May.
Happy reading
