September Meeting

Our book club met in September at the always wonderful Arris Cafe.   We discussed the book On Folly Beach by Karen White.  Our book club is a huge fan of her.    The author does a wonderful job of weaving the present and the past in this book, a task not easily done and which can become tedious in a story.  The mystery was unraveled through well developed characters and a developing plot that kept you glued to the book.

Terri
We got on the discussion of bottle trees.  Terri was given a bottle tree from a group of her friends when she was first diagnosed with cancer.   Bottle trees were used to ward away evil spirits.   Several books we have read, including On Folly Beach, mention bottle trees.

Our next meeting is October 4 at 5:00 at Kate and Allie's.  The title of the book is Southern Belles of Honeysuckle Way by Linda Bruckheimer.
