Gone Girl

Blu Fig Restaurant. January 29, 2013

Our beloved book club started off the New Year with the psychological thriller Gone Girl. Thank you all for coming and sharing your thoughts, the tantalizing conversation, and good food. We all missed our colleagues that were unable to attend, but know you were there in love.  I want to thank you all for our special group, each and everyone of you hold a special place in my heart and mean so much to me.  I feel so truly blessed to be part of our "Neary" Book club.

We had lots of fun dissecting Nick and Amy's life and their marriage gone terribly, terribly wrong. All agreed that the ending was both disturbing and ominous.  Looking forward to a happy ending where good prevails!

I pray love will be with, goodness will surround you and joy will fill your heart.....until next month!

As always, a huge thank you to Robin for all you do. It is greatly appreciated!

Lots of love,
Irene

Goodreads Book List - Take a Chance!

These are some great books some of us have mentioned, or I am investigating, for Neary's book club, or my new Book Club Too. If you choose from this list, I think you are guaranteed a good read, BUT, someone might pick it sometime soon for their book choice for the month. Please feel free to edit and add your own choices! Some I have already read and really enjoyed (marked with a *) and I almost chose them for our book club. Some are on my "must read asap list", and some have been recommended to me by other trusted bookworms!
