April Meeting

Thanks to MJ for the summary!

Meeting place: Sharon's lovely home!





Wine: a Wonderful Alsacian Pinot Gris and a Hess Cab Sav





Treats: a Fabulous Apple Tart (with thyme) made by Sharon Perry

Enjoyable discussion of "Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup", a nonfiction book by journalist John Carreyrou, released May 21, 2018. It covers the rise and fall of the firm Theranos, the multibillion-dollar biotech startup headed by Elizabeth Holmes – the enigmatic founder now charged with fraud. Everyone (who read it so far) said it was a page turner. Elizabeth Holmes is currently undergoing her trial. A film version is reportedly also in the works, starring Jennifer Lawrence as Elizabeth Holmes.



Next book: 
Crow by Barbara Wright
(Juvenile Historical Fiction book, available at the library)



Many members will be out of town on the scheduled May 28th meeting date as this is the day after Memorial Day.   We'll need to come to a consensus to determine if we should postpone the meeting.
