Next Book

Per Samia in her email dated Sept. 10: "For our next book let's read Tuck's "The News from Paraguay" It won the national book award (year?). It is in trade paperback and I have seen it in used bookstores. I think it is a very good book (well written and content is intriguing). Joanna can you come up with a site or copy of a "study guide" for it etc.? It would be good to look at before we read and of course after. We ARE going to discuss it (fully). ;) September might be too early. I didn't find it to be a fast read but it wasn't that ambitious either. What do you comadres think about the middle of October for its discussion? Whatever you think, preference, etc. avisa me. Samia"

Book Party at Becky's

We met at Becky's to talk about Dirty Girls on Top and had a great time. Becky made an awesome baked brie that was to die for. We mostly ate and drank and talked about the book for about 1 minute.

I've always loved this book. It's beautiful with an organic, mystical sense, in any language. If you can't make the call, it's usually available on the Top Shelf site for later playback. Top Shelf is a good site for author interviews. Someday you may be listening to my interview. :-)

Have a great day everyone.

Abrazos,
