March Book Club

Since my home is not appropriate for hosting, this months book club will be held at Negroni, a new resto at 492 College Street that is a pannini and apps spot by the same owners as Sidecar. We tried there once before but at the time they closed on Mondays. Barb D assured me they are open on Mondays now. Appi's and drinks are on me. Hope to see all of you. I can't imagine a reservation will be necessary on a Monday, but please advise me if you disagree and I will make one once everyone has confirmed if they are coming.

Non Sequitur Alert: Olive Kitteridge and Jane Austen

Thank you Christine for hosting a beautiful fondue party and discussion of Olive Kitteridge. As always, you put your home on beautiful display and make all of us feel welcome. It was a lively evening of book and personal discussions.

For those who love Jane Austen, as I do, I present a clip from the most recent BBC production of Emma.

This is the scene where Knightly asks Emma to dance (after saying earlier that he is not a good dancer and doesn't like to dance) and you can see that their relationship is changing.

The full version of this new totally delightful Emma can be viewed in 9 minute segments from Youtube. http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=47923BB9FFC1BC9B&search_query=austen+emma+2009.
The last episode will be played this sunday on Masterpiece Classics at 9:00 pm.

Thanks Christine and everyone for a great evening. Next month's book is Still Alice by Lisa Genova.

January the 4th on 4 Croft Street...

What an amazing evening you prepared for us Barb. You are truly an exceptional host starting from sipping on Cava and tasty cheeses to a wonderful assortment of entrees and delcious desserts. The setting for the evening, the house, the decor, the table, was truly inspiring. Not to mention the company and conversations, including book talk. I just wanted to thank you again on Jacqueline's and my behalf. Happy new year everybody.
