Summer Book Club Recommends....

The Sandpiper Summer Book Club met Thurs., Aug. 14, in Flip Flopz.  As always, we had stimulating discussions of books we have read or are reading. We also decided that we will continue the Informal Book Club (formerly known as the Summer Book Club) this winter.  We will meet on the third Wed. evening of each month.  It will be on the calendar.
 
Pam recommended two books, "Roses," and "Somerset," by Leila Meacham.  This series deals with a family through several generations in Texas.
Pam also recommended "Kinder than Solitude" by Yiyun Li.
-----------------------
Joanie just finished "Light Between Oceans" which will be the Sandpiper Book Club book  for the month of November, our first meeting.
----------------------
Mary read "90 Minutes in Heaven" by Don Piper.  It is based on a true story of a near-death experience.
Mary also read "The Midwife" by Jennifer Worth.  This is now a series on PBS on Sun. night.
----------------------------------
Karen recommended the "Outlander" series by Diana Gibaldon.  It deals with time-travel and can be seen on Starz TV on Sat. at 8:00 pm.
----------------------------------------
Patsy re-read "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan" by Lisa See.  This is the story of two girls growing up together in China.  It is a fascinating look at Chinese culture and the position of women in the 19th century.
 
Our next meeting will be Sept. 11 at 7:00 pm in Flip Flopz.
