To Fit the Bill

GBC P@1ge always has the most enticing summaries of book club so I've again used her words below.  I wish I could have been there on the porch.  I've overdue a seat between a couple of you.

It may have been the last al fresco dining opportunity for several months, so our host did good by us and got us outside for a lovely, late spring dinner (after light snacks around the kitchen island of course--it wouldn't be book club at Bill's without that!). As always, Bill prepared an incredible dinner with Tuscan chicken, saffron rice, ratatouille, Rugby salad and a green salad. Topping it all off for dessert--a gelatin salad. Light. Refreshing. Fun.

Now, of course, those words describe dinner, but not The Roundhouse. While the book was well liked and elicited a lively discussion, and the author did insert moments of great levity, one can't describe the book as "light". It was a great coming-of-age/crime novel that also educated us on some Native American history and folklore. I'm happy to pass my copy along to anyone who didn't get a chance to read but wants to.

Summer and higher temperatures are right around the corner, so it's a good time to find a shady spot outside or a comfy chair inside with the air conditioning and read our upcoming selections.
