February 19 - Hostess Lois - The Aviator's Wife by Melanie Benjamin

April 16 - Hostess Bonnie - Swans are Fat Too by Michelle Granas

May 21 - Hostess Jennifer - All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr
The setting is France and Germany prior to and during WWII. It has 3 story lines that jump back and forth in time so the easiest way to read it is straight through without too many breaks so you don't lose the thread. That wasn't hard for me to do because the stories are compelling and the writing is beautiful.

Cancelled!!! Jean is serving a mission and not available for book club for several months!  (June 18 - Hostess Jean - 80 Days by Matthew Goodman)

July 16 - Hostess Lisa - The Book Thief by Markus Zusak.

Summer Book Club

June 19 we are meeting at Jean's home to discuss We the Living by Ayn Rand.  July and August are open if anyone wants to host.

We had a delightful meeting at Michele's last night with guest author (and neighbor) Robin Lee Hatcher!  Robin is an inspiring person and it was fascinating to hear of the experiences of her career as an author of 70+ books!

May 2014's book
