‍ ‍ September is one of Southern California’s hottest times. When I taught I used fans in my classroom until we were assigned a room in an air conditioned building.

‍ ‍ Our next meeting is on September 27th for The Angels of Venice. It’s scheduled at 2:00 pm on Zoom. The meeting after that is on October 25th for the book Sparkling Cyanide. Both are good reads. We hope to see you there.

‍ ‍ August is the month with no holidays except for going back to school — a holiday for some and maybe not for others. It is also the month when I think about a new box of Crayola crayons. I love the smell of them as well as their sharpened look. It is also the month when we have a meeting on the 23rd at 2:00 p.m. Pacific. We’re discussing The Curse of the Pogo Stick by Colin Cotterill. We’d love to see you at our Zoom meeting. Come and have some fun!

‍ ‍. What’s on your summer fun list? Share what you’d like to do sometime during the summertime. Meanwhile, don’t forget to join us on the 26th at 2:00 pm PDT. We’re discussing The Cracked Spine by Paige Shelton and then playing a game. Come to the meeting, have a bit of summer fun, and make some friends. We meet on Zoom so RSVP on the Events page.

‍ ‍. We meet on June 28th on Zoom at 2:00 pm Pacific. Our book is The Case of the Elusive Bombay Duck by Tarquin Hall. You’ll love the book. It’s a cozy, funny, and has a sleuth that you’ll love. Join us whether or not you’ve read the book. We have a lot of fun!

‍ ‍ Barnaby’s birthday is this Sunday. He doesn’t know that he has a choice of birthstones. He’s just interested in treat treats. Happy birthday you June babies!

Jot down May 24^th on your own calendar. This month we’re reading Mastering the Art of French Murder by Colleen Cambridge. I liked this mystery, you will also. It involves Julia Childs as one of the characters which gives the novel a familiar feel. Join us whether you’ve had a chance to read the novel or not. Of course we talk about the book, but we also talk with each other on Zoom and become mystery club friends. In addition, we play a game and award prizes. It’s a fun hour on a Sunday. We’re scheduled for the 24^th at 2:00 pm Pacific, 5:00 pm Eastern.
