Christina's PICK for June...drum roll

The Little Strangers, by Sarah Waters.

April bookclub in review - Escape, Carolyn Jessop

Thanks for all who came to bookclub. And, thanks to Eva and Stephanie for reading the Epilogue out LOUD! We have never done that before! I finally finished the book last night (only 3 days late), and am still in awe as to how these people live. What a shame. Just glad that Carolyn is living a good life now and has found what true love really is in Brian. Awww...now I have goosebumps! Thanks ladies, booklcub with you all is awesome!
