Had a very fun evening with my mystery book group. We met up at a restaurant, traded books and discussed Nobody Move. I really had nothing to add to the discussion as I pretty much skimmed the book (I won’t even count that one toward my yearly books read total) but I really enjoyed my dessert. I had key lime pie – yum.
Twice a year when we meet up at a restaurant we enjoy dinner and we bring in stacks of books we want to trade. We pass books around and I’ve been able to walk off with more books than I bring in – don’t know how that happens – but this time I was a bit more choosy and I had a hard time selecting books to take home. Still I ended up with this little stack:
The Sandford and Berry book I actually picked up for my husband as they seem more like the thrillers he enjoys. The P.D. James book I couldn’t pass up. I was hesitant to take the Shreve book because I really haven’t had much luck with her books but one of the members told me she really liked it and we seem to share the same taste in books so I’ll give it a go. Have you read any of these?
Anyway a fun time. Tomorrow, some mini reviews!
Sounds like a great group and the perfect venue to do a little book swapping.
This looks like a fun evening. Enjoy your new books.
Not many people had finished the book at my meetup last night either. That’s an awesome idea to trade books! I haven’t read the Shreve book either, but I feel the same way as you do. I will be anxious to hear what you think of it!
I loved Fortune’s Rocks, but then again, I’m a big Shreve fan. Enjoy your new books! I love the trade idea.
What a great idea to trade books like that! Sounds like a fun evening.
Trading books is a great idea for my book club!
When I belonged to a local bookclub we always had a party at a restaurant at Christmas time and exchanged bookmarks. Your party sounds like fun and you have a nice pile of books. It’s a reminder that I need to read more PD James.
Bookgirl – We had a lot of fun. I felt a bit bad as I just skimmed through the book and really had nothing to add but well we talked about other books too so that was fun 🙂 I think our next read will be interesting – I believe it’s a mystery set in Sri Lanka? I need to go over my notes.
