Author Signing: Giulia Melucci

Karen recently got the chance to meet Giulia Melucci, author of our book club read in June: I Loved, I Lost, I Made Spaghetti. She signed it to the book club!

Tweak

Today we met at Debbie's apartment in San Francisco to discuss Tweak, by Nic Sheff. It's a memoir about a drug addict and the various ups and downs in his journey towards getting clean.

Debbie cooked up a storm and we enjoyed, among other things, baked eggs and ebelskivers, which are delicious Danish pancakes that are round with a filling.

Though I was not a big fan of the book (or the author) it made for a great book club discussion. We missed Amy and Jen!

Sweet Discipline

On November 7 2009 we met at Liz's house to discuss Sweet Discipline by Bonnie Hamre. I won't tell you what it's about, but note Amy's clever book cover so she could read it in public.

We missed Jen, Rebecca and Debbie but it was a wonderful meal at Liz's (love that garbanzo bean salad..)

Get a Life

On September 5 2009, we met at Santana Row for lunch at the Left Bank. We had a semi-private room to ourselves, and amazingly we were all in attendance!

We read Get a Life by Nadine Gordimer. Since I'm posting this 4 months after we discussed it, I can't remember what everyone thought. I think the majority were pretty so-so about it. But we had delicious food and a great time getting together.
