Happy late summer! I'm sorry I missed the last
gathering, but I wanted to get Marie's note about it on record. I don't
have too much of an opinion on the book as I only read the first chapter
so far. Should I continue? There was certainly not a lot of enthusiasm
expressed?!!

Here's what Marie wrote:
"Thank you Jarby for hosting our last book club
gathering where we discussed The Leftovers by Tom Perrotta. Our
reception of the book was so-so. Thank you Jarby for NOT serving
leftovers for dinner but rather delicious salad, chili and
corn bread to die for! Key Lime pie for dessert topped everything off
nicely.
Louise will be hosting our next gathering some time mid-September. Stay tuned for more details around dates, time and place.
Our next book is: Exclusive by Sandra Brown
Scandal strikes the First Family. How exactly
did the President and First Lady's only child die? According to the
White House, the baby died of sudden infant death syndrome. According to
the ambitious female news reporter, Barrie Travis,
their story veils the truth. Unfortunately, Barrie suffers from a
tarnished reputation, because once she was too quick to report without
checking her facts first. Joining with an enigmatic former presidential
aide and a retired news editor, she uncovers the
real story. It reveals the ugly side of too much ambition, too little
moral character, and an overload of revenge. While chasing leads and
villains, the reporter falls in love with a man she believes is
romantically involved with the First Lady. A very readable
book in which the mystery lingers to the final sentence
Happy reading!"
