Thank-you for a very enjoyable meeting last week. It was certainly a lively discussion regarding the book House Rules by Jodi Picoult, and the trials and tribulations families face when raising a child with special needs.
A reminder that there is no April meeting so, I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very Safe, Happy and Eggcellent Easter.
Our next meeting will be Tue 31st May where we will be discussing the book, Parky: my autobiography.
Thanks,
Wendy

Welcome back to Eagle Vale Book Club members for 2011, we hope that everyone had an enjoyable Christmas and New Year filled with lots and lots of reading. Our next meeting will be Tuesday 22nd February and we will be discussing 'The Year of the Flood" by Margaret Atwood, (purely coincidental, as this title was chosen last year).
We look forward to seeing you then,
Regards, Jenny and Wendy
