We've added a star rating to our titles, 3 stars being the the most highly rated. This is in lieu of actually writing a review of the book, which almost nobody is. This does not mean you can't still write a review if you can dredge up the energy to do so. Simply add as a comment to this post.
This was a great evening, marked by some very good books and photos of THE TRIP (Barcelona - Frances) and THE WEDDING (Vancouver - Kathryn). Also a couple of movie recommendations: Social Network and the Earth Fire, Water trilogy.
Potluck Christmas party coming up on Dec. 12, 5 - ? at Kathryn's place.
