The Mistress's Revenge by Tamar Cohen

This month's selection was chosen by Rhoda R.  Rhoda chose two selections and we all voted.  We should not discount her other choice though.  Stiff, by Mary Roach.  I did not vote for this book- I've already read it, twice!!  It's a great book.  I know it sounds like it would be disgusting and gory.  Who reads books about cadavers?  It's actually very entertaining, informative and enjoyable!  If you finish this month's read a little early and are looking for something to read while waiting for the next selection, I recommend picking up Stiff and just giving it a try!

Now, onto this month!  The Mistress's Revenge.  I can't quite tell if this is a sinister, suspenseful novel or a dark comedy.  I guess that will come with reading it!  Please let me know if you are reading it.  I am always interested in everyone's take of our selections.  This one has been reviewed with similarities to Fatal Attraction- leads me to believe it is more on the sinister side!  I'm excited to read a suspenseful one!  Perfect to read close to Halloween!  Click on the link below to see the synopsis and a few of the reviews.

Madame Tussaud: Book Club Meeting

Today for our book club meeting, we met for a lunch on the patio of a little French cafe in Highlands Ranch.  As last time, good friends, good food and good chat- even some about the book!  Of course there was wine- wouldn't be a meeting without booze!  Thanks again to Jennifer for the great selection!  Jennifer was fortunate enough to experience the actual museum in London.  She has a very interesting book about the wax models and all of the ones that are now in the museum, old and new.  If you weren't able to attend, I'm sure she would be happy to let you see her book!  We also tallied the votes I had collected on the new selections- see the next blog!  Thanks ladies for another great meeting.  As always, feel free to join our club if you want to read with us!  There are no initiation fees or hazing periods!

Madame Tussaud: Book Club Meeting Time!

Okay Bookworms!  It's that time again- time for another meeting!  I hope you are all enjoying or have enjoyed this month's selection.  Thanks so much to Jennifer for making the pick!  I thought we could meet over lunch for this month's meeting.  There is a nice little French restaurant here in Highlands Ranch that I bet would be more than happy to accommodate us.  Please let me know if you plan to attend so I can call them in advance and see if they will reserve a large table for us.

I have emailed Michelle Moran through her website...she will sometimes call into your book club if it is a convenient time.   How exciting would that be!  I will keep you posted as to what I hear in return....we need to come prepared with questions that make us Bookworms look as smart as we are!!

Thank you to Rhoda for providing me with two possible selections for next month's read:

 Stiff:  The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers

Mary Roach

The Mistress's Revenge

Tamar Cohen

Now we can research these and vote at the meeting!  If you are not able to attend the meeting but still want to cast a vote, please let me know and I will tally your votes with the rest of them!  Also, if you want to be in the drawing to choose the next book, give me a shout and I will include your name.  And as always, if you haven't joined us yet, you are more than welcome to jump on in and start participating!  We would love to read with you!
