We have changed our June meeting to the 22nd instead of the 29th. We will still be meeting at the Big City Diner at 10:30 for brunch. Hope you are all enjoying the book!

Also, our group has discussed books that that have been made into movies on numerous occasions. Some good,...... some bad. I’ve made a list of new movies either made for T.V. or the big screen that will be coming out soon, or at least in the next year. I am not including movies that have already been made.
