March Book Selection


Thanks to Peggy for a delicious lunch and lively conversation! We may be the only group in the country that could make valid comparisons between Remarkable Creatures and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills!

Moving on to March, we voted on Clare's top 3 picks and decided on Lone Survivor by Marcus Luttrell. (click on the title to read the description and reviews on goodreads.com)

We will meet next on March 16...until then, happy reading!

February NTSBC Meeting


We will meet at Peggy's house on Wednesday, February 16 at 12:30 to discuss Remarkable Creatures. The photo above is of Mary Anning's "crocodile" ~ actually the Ichthyosaurus. It's hard to see, but there is a portrait of Mary below the head. It resides in London's Natural History Museum. Can you imagine finding this?

One little trivia about Mary Anning is that she was the inspiration for the tongue twister "She sells seashells on the seashore"!
