A small group tonight, but lots of great titles!  Rhian also reported in: her favourite read was a thriller called Expats, and Antoinette (currently in France) read The Lady Cyclist of Kandahar, a historic adventure/travel novel which sounds very intriguing.

We are looking at Dec. 2 for the Christmas party, at Kathryn's, and sometime in January or February at Wendy's for the next "real" meeting.  Possible topic:  something by a writer from this year's Writer's Festival.
