Our January meeting was at Phyllis' on January 23rd. Looks like she did a great job keeping the discussion on track!
Because of the bad weather and roads only the "townies" were able to attend. (Phyllis did host some us on Friday that didn't make it to book club. We were treated to trifle, treats and adult beverages! YUM!)
Our book to discuss was:
