October - The Unexpected Mrs. Pollifax

We had an awesome buffet book club in September thanks to Tonie who graciously offered to be the host. She went above and beyond and we are sure glad to have her as a friend (and that's not just because she can cook - but that is a bonus!)

We discussed the fascinating book On Wings of Eagles by Ken Follett. While many agreed there was more historical information that necessary, I got the impression that those who read it gained not only a great deal of knowledge but also a better appreciation for the country that we live in.

On October 5th, at Kristi C.'s house we will be discussing The Unexpected Mrs. Pollifax by Dorothy Gilman. This book was recommended by Jill C and she even wrote up a little bio for us (thank you, Jill).


The Unexpected Mrs. Pollifax by Dorothy Gillman is light and fun and an easy read with some "unexpected" surprises to live up to its name! If you are looking for something to keep your interest and at the same time escape and de-stress, this one will do it for you! You may find yourself reading it quickly and looking for more, but no worries! Dorothy has written many adventures for Emilly Pollifax! But read the above title first- it is her first one and sets the stage! Happy reading!!
I'm excited to tell you that we have all the books picked out for the remainder of the year and even into January. The books are posted on the side bar so keep your eye out for these good reads when you're at the library or book store.
