Today I listed “All for Love” by Tasha Tudor.

The theme of this book of poetry, letters, songs, stories, folklore and customs is Love. Also their is a section on the Tudor’s family Valentine’s Day customs and traditions. Color illustrations by Tasha Tudor.

The author has also included Love Songs, including: Annie Laurie, My Love is Like a Red Red Rose, Early One Monring and more, with notes and lyrics (for piano).

The last chapter of this book has gifts and celebrations of the author and her family, including: How to Make Cake Sale Booths, How to Make a Flower Pot Valentine Card, How to Make Valentine Bouquets; Recipe for a Festive Punch and Valentine’s Cake Recipe.

We had our January book club meeting on Wednesday, January 13, 2010 at the Library.

Our December selection was This Year It Will Be Different by Maeve Binchy. A collection of 15  Christmas tales about love and family snarls in the season of comfort and joy, set in England, Ireland,  and Australia.

We discussed this book a bit and the consensus was that it was not what we expected for Christmas stories and  most of us did not enjoy this selection.

If you would like to read other books by Maeve Binchy, you can find more books by her on www.amazon.ca.

Our January book club selection is The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett. As this is a very large book, we will be reading the first half of this book in January and the second half in February.Similar Posts:

We had our December book club meeting on December 8th, 2009 at Kathy’s Place. We had a Christmas Supper (turkey and all the trimmings).

After we had supper, we discussed our November book club selection, Where the Heart is by Billie Letts. Everyone enjoyed this book and we all thought it was an easy read and a great story.

This is the story of Novalee Nation, who at age 17, and 7 months pregnant was dropped off at the Wal-mart in Sequoyah, Oklahoma with only $7.77 in change, by her boyfriend, Willy Jack Pickens.

Novalee meets 3 people her first day at the Wal-mart store, who later are there for her when she is in need and become her best friends. At the town library she meets the town librarian, Forney Hull, who introduces Novalee to the world of books and becomes a very important person in her and her child’s live.

In December we will be reading This Year Will be Different by Maeve Binchy.Similar Posts:

My burns are healing slowly, everyone says it takes a long time for burns to heal.

Be very careful when unplugging a stand up kettle, as they tip easily. You do not want to have this happen to you, as it is very very painful.Similar Posts:

A serial killer is stalking and murdering newlyweds on their honeymoon and San Francisco Homicide inspector Lindsay Boxer takes the case.  While on the case Lindsay Boxer meets three other women–a lawyer, a reporter, and the city medical examiner. These women join forces to solve this gruesome crime and the Women’s Murder Club is born.

This book kept me in suspense until the very end, and I was very surprised at who the serial killer was.

The ladies enjoyed this book and next year we will be reading the 2nd book in this series.
