Wow! I can't believe I'm blogging! Setting up my account was really easy, but I had to think of a screen name. Hmmm, something about kayaking? Or living on the creek? Or knitting (wrong blog) sooo, I decided on jayne the librarian, and here I am! I haven't started a new book since our meeting Monday. I'm waiting on Amazon to deliver Istanbul for my other book club and have to have it read by the 16th. Meanwhile I checked out What the Dead Know by Laura Lippman. It's about 2 children who disappear from a shopping center and years later someone appears claiming to be one of them. Lippman is from Baltimore and it sounds like the case of the daughters of that newsman who disappeared years ago in the DC area.
Oh, this is addictive! Best get back to work.

Just the Facts
We are a diverse group of working women and moms who meet on the first Monday of every month for wine, appetizers and book talk. We alternate between assigned books and "free read" months when we discuss and trade a variety of books, movies and magazine articles. On assigned books, the "leader" may tell a little about the author, reading from interviews and biographies and then will prompt discussion with questions. But, our conversation rarely stays on the book at hand for long. We end up talking about everything from travel and love to children and work.
