Date changed for September Book Club/Lella's good reads.....

Book Club has been moved to next Thursday, September 28th at 7:30pm. This date seemed to work better for  some of us.  Anyone interested in hosting? If you would like to host, please contact me at bookclub@bytespy.com.  Lella emailed me with an update on some of the books she has been reading.  I have posted it below. 
 
 "Josi Kilpack's latest in the Lemon Tart series is out.  My daughter Catherine bought it and read it while we were in Santa Fe (which was a good place to read it since most of it takes place there).  She loaned it to me and I've read it.  A really good book and the recipes (all but one) are incredible.  Especially the winner which was the Tres Leches cupcakes.  I can see why it won.  My recipes were good but not in the same category and wouldn't have worked as well in the story.  She wove the winner, Lois Blackburn, into the story in a really great way.  What an honor for her in addition to having her recipe picked.  I can highly recommend this latest in the series.
     Also, on my trip, we started listening to the audio version of "The Undaunted."  I know most of you have probably read it.  I had been avoiding it because this kind of book always makes me cry.  Well, I gave in and borrowed the book after hearing the first 4 CD's and read it all in about 3 days.....it was worth the box of tissues.
     I've bought the first 6 of the Sheriff Dan Rhodes series from Amazon.com, so now I know the "beginning" of the story.  The early ones are good, but not as good as the later ones. You can see the progress in the writing style with each book.  But there is no way of knowing how it all began unless you read the first ones.  The Library has about 5 or 6 of the later ones.  His 2012 book is not there, but the 2011 one is still on the New Fiction shelf (Bill Crider: The Wild Hog Murders)." --Lella Pomeroy
