Our book for April is Poison in Paddington by Samantha Silver. We’ll be playing our version of Hangman after we discuss the book. All words will come from the book and there’s a prize for the winner! In May we’ll read an Inspector Singh novel and in June we’re extraordinary lucky to host Misty Simon!

It’s April Fool’s Day and the beginning of April. Have fun everyone!

We have a very exciting meeting planned for March 23rd. Heather Weidner, the author of many cozy mystery books will be attending our meeting by Zoom. Our meeting starts at 2:00 pm Pacific time (5:00pm Eastern time).

It’s almost springtime -- clocks go forward (March 9), Dr. Seuss is celebrated (March 2) and children are encouraged to read, and one of my favorites, for no reason at all, St. Patrick’s Day is March 17th. Of course St. Patrick’s Day is on the heels of the Ides of March (the 15th) so watch those ravens and crows! We meet March 23rd with Heather Weidner as our guest author. RSVP! It’s going to be great!

Sunday February 23rd our monthly meeting will be on Zoom at 2:00 pm Pacific time. We read The Dead and Their Vaulted Arches by Alan Bradley. The novel is considered by many as the best in his series so far. There’s still time to RSVP for a meeting that promises to be an hour or so of very lively discussion and even livelier game playing.

It’s February which is a bit unbelievable to me. First it was about to be 2025 which I thought at that time was unbelievable. Now, January has slipped by and it’s already February. I have to take a step back and say “What have I accomplished?”

Our next meeting is on January 26th at 2:00 pm Pacific on Zoom. We’re reading Richard Osman’s We Solve Murders and playing Jeopardy for the second half of the meeting. Don’t forget to RSVP!!

Happy New Year everyone. I have outdone myself in the number of resolutions that I made. I’m hoping to keep at least some of them!

December is the month of lists. Will I ever learn to play chess or publish my first book or finish my second book? Oh my! Then there are the lists for this month only including shopping lists, present lists, book lists, lists of lists…the lists go on.

We had a most hilarious time playing Scrabble last month after we discussed the book A Fatal Fudge Swirl by Meri Allen. Who knew that the members could get so competitive! Join us and find out.

We had our September meeting and discussed Ovidia Yu’s Aunty Lee’s Delights: A Singaporean Mystery. We had a good time discussing the book because many of us found the customs interesting, the food descriptions were luscious sounding, and there were some gaps and wishes that the author had written a more thoughtful ending. We sounded like a class in literary criticism. One of us won the game.

We read The Unexpected Mrs. Pollifax for May. Tahlia led the bookclub meeting and the BINGO game. Several members won the game and talked about how much they enjoyed the novel.

The wallpaper is fun, but the bars are my freedom to get around without help.
