April Meeting

Pickwick Society met tonight at Bingham's in the Truman Hotel.  Members discussed the book Fugitive Spring written by former Jefferson City resident Deborah Sugarbaker Digges.  The book sparked much discussion about the style which Mrs. Digges used in writing the book.  A 1965 Jefferson City High School yearbook was brought to the meeting and photos were shared of several of the Sugarbaker daughters.

The next meeting will be May 3 at El Jimador on Westwood on the patio if weather permits.  We will be reading and discussing Heaven is for Real: A Little Boy's Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back.

Lisa's sweet babies joined us tonight!

Gone with a Handsomer Man

Ladies, the book is set to ship April 26 so let's do this as a June book instead of May.  I will contact Michael to do our Skype in June. I will shoot for the first Tuesday in June. 

Gone with a Handsomer Man was recently picked as the Mystery Guild's Book of the Month!

March Meeting

Tonight we met at Prison Brews and discussed the book A Reliable Wife.  Most felt it was a good book with a nice twist at the end.  The characters were well developed and the storyline complex.  Good food was had by all.

We had an opportunity to toast Linda Eisinger's announcement of her retirement.  We will meet at Bingham's at the Truman Hotel in April.  We will be reading Fugitive Spring.

February Meeting

Tonight we met at Hunan's and discussed the book Lie After Lie.  We had a lengthy discussion about this book.  We were all fascinated by the Boston police officers' description of Jefferson City and took exception with the notion that none of JC's restaurants are open past 9:00 p.m. 

Everyone had tasty meals and then we decided on books for the future.  Terri brought a book that had been written by her friend Michael Lee West and the group will read it in April.   After discussion of other titles, it was decided to read A Reliable Wife by Robert Goolrich available on Amazon.

A Story from Joan

In a recent email, Joan told me this story...

"The Secrets of the YaYa Sisterhood

We read it before the Angry Housewives eating Bonbons, when I took it into Nancy's Trade A book, they said they had never heard of it and would not take it, later it hit the best seller list. We have always been way ahead of the game!
