and have only missed twice (husband's death and mom's surgery) until
now. Pope Joan was an intriguing read, making the Dark Ages come
alive and presenting history in another light, the light of possibility.
I was sorry to miss the Pope Joan discussion but trust that all who attended came away with richer insight and understanding. Voting
was delayed on our Historical Fiction category, but we will tackle that
in May.
The returned books for Tom's Lending Library and Handan's Lending Library are sitting on my desk. I will
bring them on May 5 when we meet to discuss our bio/memoir selection: The Sisters: The Saga of the Mitford Family by Mary S. Lovell.
We will be voting on Contemporary or Literary Fiction selections on May 3rd. If you have titles that
benefit from a discussion - remember to send them on or bring them with you.
