Fun evening last night at our December meeting which includes a potluck dinner and Yankee Swap. I tried to reinstitute a book/discussion, which we used to do, but no one but me had read the book! Lots of good food, thoughtful gifts for the swap and simply a nice evening with friends.
I found the book Are You There God? It's Me Margaret by Judy Blume to be on target. And in researching I came across a book of essays in which authors discuss those books that influenced their lives and are still read today. Meg Cabot wrote the essay about this particular book.
