The Book of Unholy Mischief

Overall, I think everyone enjoyed the book. Some comments:

- a bit slow at times

- liked the descriptions of the food and menus

- wished Luciano would stop meddling

- some good messages/life lessons

We discussed the time period during which the book was set and what it would be like to live then. Nikki has been to Venice so she described what it is like there. I think I'd like to visit some day.

Please feel free to add any comments you have about the book. Gale, did you like it?

We are reading The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society next and will meet on January 20th at Coffee Culture.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

The Book Thief

Everyone agreed that although this book was sad, it was a great read. I'll be recommending this book to a couple of friends for sure.

We're leaving Germany now and travelling to Italy. Enjoy the trip! :)

Comments and Meeting Recap

I changed the comments settings so please let me know if it worked.

The overall consensus was that the book was an enjoyable read but not Lori's best. Laura, Gale and Alyson, we missed you. Gale, hope you are feeling better.

We're on to The Book Thief now so happy reading!

OK, so I really need to be in bed sleeping but I thought I would get this going. For those of you unfamiliar with blog territory, blogs are quite interactive. First of all, you can subscribe to our blog's feed, which means you will be notified by e-mail when something new is posted to the blog. You can also leave comments on the blog posts (this is a blog post). If you would like to post something to the blog, I think you will have to e-mail it to me and I will post it due to security reasons. (oh, so high tech!)

On the left hand side of our blog I have posted a link to our first three books on Amazon. If you would like me to add anything else, let me know. I'll see if I can add a calendar and post our meeting dates/times/places.

I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of our first book in the mail. Amazon is pretty quick so I may even get it tomorrow.

Happy Reading!
