Page Turners

OMG OMG OMG Anne and I had a dream of a book club and it came to life!  We, along with new and old friends, met for our first Page Turners meeting last week.  It was amazing.  We had tons of fun and lots of laughs and we picked our first book.  So, those of you who are interested in attending, we have an open door policy and those of you who cannot attend, feel free to read along with us.

Our first book is... are you ready... fire up your Kindle or hit Barnes and Noble... Gone Girl!

Marriage can be a real killer. 

On a warm summer morning in North Carthage, Missouri, it is Nick and Amy Dunne’s fifth wedding anniversary. Presents are being wrapped and reservations are being made when Nick’s clever and beautiful wife disappears from their rented McMansion on the Mississippi River. Husband-of-the-Year Nick isn’t doing himself any favors with cringe-worthy daydreams about the slope and shape of his wife’s head, but passages from Amy's diary reveal the alpha-girl perfectionist could have put anyone dangerously on edge. Under mounting pressure from the police and the media—as well as Amy’s fiercely doting parents—the town golden boy parades an endless series of lies, deceits, and inappropriate behavior. Nick is oddly evasive, and he’s definitely bitter—but is he really a killer?
As the cops close in, every couple in town is soon wondering how well they know the one that they love. With his twin sister, Margo, at his side, Nick stands by his innocence. Trouble is, if Nick didn’t do it, where is that beautiful wife? And what was in that silvery gift box hidden in the back of her bedroom closet?
  

We had to take a few photos to celebrate our first successful meeting.  For your viewing pleasure, please enjoy.
