We were welcomed by the co-hosts Katherine and MJ! At Katherine's lovely home in the woods near Jordan Lake.
Great spread - lots of chatting before we got down to "book club business".
Most enjoyed parts of the book - Dead Wake: The Last Crossing of the Lusitania by Eirk Larson. The summary of the comments are that we would have enjoyed a little more "drama" rather than mostly a history lesson. But, we all agreed that we had learned some things about the lead-up to the involvement of the USA in WWI.
Worthy of note is that there was a LOUD and CLOSE lightning strike during one of two thunderstorms that blew over!
Of much entertainment value was Katherine's lovely little dachshund. I tried to get a photo of him.....but he was just an energetic blurr.
Even Nancy couldn't hold him still!!!
MJ chose the August book - Karma's Little Helper, is by a local author, Sharon Graham. It is available on Amazon - or contact MJ if you want her to pick you up a copy.
Tentatively the August meeting will be the 5th Tuesday - August 30th at Karen's house (if MJ confirms that the author is available that day).
