I am Having So Much Fun Here Without You - October 2015
At our September 28th meeting, we discussed One Summer: America, 1927 by Bill Bryson. Some of the book group members didn't like how dense the articles were and how the author "jumped around" to different topics. Since it is non-fiction, it has an index which is helpful but most members were not aware of it. Overall, it was well liked and recieved a 4 of 5 stars rating with our group. We had gluten free muffins for refreshments.
Book summary:"A romance in reverse is set in Paris and London and follows an artist's attempts to fall back in love with his wife after the end of his affair, an effort that is challenged by the sale of a personal painting and his wife's discovery of his infidelity."
One Summer, America 1927
At our August 31st book group meeting, we had a nice turnout of 9 members! The book we discussed was Hurricane Sisters by Dorothea Benton Frank. Overall it was a great summer read and the members enjoyed reading and discussing the book. Our refreshments included caramel apple cheesecake bars, coffee and tea.
Summary:
Bryson examines closely the events and personalities of the summer of 1927 when America's story was one of brawling adventure, reckless optimism and delirious energy.
