This evening featured a great collection of books that got almost all positive reviews from their readers. We were joined by new member, Teddy, who, although he didn't actually read anything, behaved very well and was a credit to his mistress.

The next meeting is August 27th at Linda Craig's place and the topic is epistolary fiction or non-fiction. Diary format is also OK.
