Easter Book Club: Pot Luck

Debs hosted Book Club on Easter Saturday in her new house and we had a lovely afternoon filled with chats and lots of treats [well it tis the season]. Wonders never cease and four out of five of us in attendance had read the book. See Easter miracles do happen! Unfortunately we had a few who couldn't make it, both Shinners, Amers and K sent their apologies. Also we had one new member - welcome to the mad world that is the Full Moon BookClub P.

We all arrived round lunchtime and everyone brought something to the party - Debs had made some lovely salads, Lisa brought pizza, V brought home-made lemonade, P brought lots of chocolate and I had made my white chocolate and raspeberry cheesecake. The theme was potluck. After a nice lunch and some chat, we got down to business and think the majority of us enjoyed the book -The Missing by Jane Casey- but the character of Sarah Finch annoyed some and others felt she wasn't strong enough to be the central character. There were also some dark issues in the book that made some uncomfortable. I think we all agreed the ending wasn't the best but all in all it did hold our interest and we all finished the book and it did get us talking, always the sign of a good bookclub book.

Thanks for hosting Debs in your lovely new home. And I'm sure everyone would agree it was a lovely literary luncheon.
