Our most recent gathering was our largest to date. We had fun meeting in a coffee shop, and we welcomed newest members, Nancy & Natalie, to discuss Ostrich Boys, by Keith Gray. Set in England, it follows the adventures of three boys on a quest to memorialize their friend. It provoked some interesting discussion about life and death, personal responsibility in friendships, and how our perceptions may not be the same as other people's perceptions.
The discussion really got lively, though, when it turned to the film and book versions of The Hunger Games. Almost all the members had either seen the film or read the book or both, and those that hadn't had good reason for waiting. The girls debated the merits of the film, from the cinematography to the acting to the adaptation of the story, and most members gave it two thumbs up overall.
Liz & Alyssa host our next gathering and choose the next book.
