2013 - A Very Good Year
We’ve hosted
three published authors this year and enjoyed some terrific reads leading to
animated, enlightening, entertaining, and often hilarious discussions.
And we’re planning to enjoy plenty more in 2014.
But
without
members, there would be no First Thursday. So we, Joe and Hazel, would
like to thank our dear Lit-Lovers for the wonderful contribution you
make. And we invite you
to join us again in 2014.
Our first
meeting is on the first Thursday of February 2014, with the books ‘The Shadow of
the Wind’ by Carlos Ruiz Zafon and ‘Of Mice and Men’ by John Steinbeck.
There is no January meet up.
Merry
Christmas and a here's to a rich and fulfilling 2014.
