What my book group's reading:



We'll gather in August to discuss "Justine", the first of Lawrence Durell's 'Alexandria Quartet' series.

Our July discussion centered around Iris Murdoch's, 'The Bell'.

May found us reading and discussing, "Little Big Minds", by Marietta McCarty.


Our April book group selection for First Tuesday was a very poignant memoir by Abigail Thomas, Three Dog Life.


Desert Queen, by Janet Wallach, was our March book. I'm not sure we had this in mind when we chose it last fall, but it will tie in nicely with Women's History Month!
For some Middle Eastern flavor, I brought along dates, pita bread, olives, hummus, and tabouli for us to sample as we discussed the book and I believe that this just might have been one of our best book group get togethers, yet....
