    @nancyinmiami - I'm sorry - I was exhausted last night and went to bed at 7:30…forgot all about the book club meeting. I hope to do better for October!

    Happy Saturday! Yes, we have a book to give away!! Thanks to @jessicakrall8, we have an extra copy of The First Witch of Boston to give to one lucky reader! All you have to do is reply to this post by choosing one number between 1 and 100 (my trusty husband has written the secret number down). On Thursday, October 2, whoever comes closest to the secret number without going over is the winner! A copy of the book (in paperback) will be immediately mailed to you!!

    I suggest this one for November. Although I won't make November and December as I have my book club those dates.

    Thanks so much for post on Downsizers. This book club sounds fun. I’m across Alligator Alley in Port Charlotte. I lived/taught in Ft Lauderdale for 30 years. Retired in December & am loving it 😁.

    @gillis1118 hi neighbor! Happy to have you in the group! We’ve been here for two years and are really happy here. Although the past two weeks have been kind of rotten, beautiful weather is just around the corner. The weather and sunlight is just good for my soul.
    So we do our monthly discussions over zoom. So please send me your email address (I’m at nancyinmiami@yahoo.com) and I’ll add you in. Welcome!!
