Our November meeting was an intimate group. I suppose everyone was out buying their Thanksgiving turkey!
While enjoying coffee and tea with cranberry bread and biscotti we shared books we've enjoyed. Hopefully next month's meeting will draw more attendees so we can gather a bigger list of book suggestions! Hope to see you on Friday, December 30th at 11am in the Community Room for book talk and muchies.

October Meeting
Today we had our second meeting of the Last Friday of the Month Book Club. We all had an enjoyable time sharing book recommendations while enjoying coffee and pastry. We were especially lucky to be joined by local author Chris Pfeil this month. Chris shared the events in her life that lead to her writing career and then read excerpts from her two books for us. Both Chris's books are available through amazon.com for purchase or download. Link to Chris Pfeil's novel A Shepherd's Rod I for one intend to check them out! Even though we are the "Last Friday" club, our next meeting will be held on November 18th. We decided that the day after Thanksgiving would find most of us too full or too busy shopping to attend. I hope to see you then!

What's Up?
Just a reminder the next meeting of the Last Friday of the Month Book Club will be held on October 28th. I can't wait to hear about what everyone has read. Remember, you don't have to tell us about a book you are currently reading, you can share with us a book you read at anytime that you enjoyed. Hope to see you at the library on the 28th. Remember hot beverages and goodies will be served!
