POC’s Book Club, “Hooked On Books”, held its November Meeting on November 9, 2021, at the home of Hostess, Connie Britton. Co-Hostesses were Nancy Ladshaw, Annie Seay, and Mary Ann Claiborne. The 18 Ladies who attended enjoyed a beautiful and delicious array of hors d’ouvres, desserts, and wine, while laughing, visiting, and “catching up!!!! Following the meal, the group held a lengthy and lively discussion of November’s Book, “Love and Ruin”, by Paula McClain, which captures the ups and downs of Ernest Hemmingway and his third wife, Martha Gellhorn, with Key West, Colorado, Cuba, and World War II Europe as the backdrop. The discussion questions were challenging and thought provoking, and all agreed that it was an excellent book- well written, fact based, and very engaging!! We would like to thank the Hostesses for a fabulous time, and for their hard work in putting it all together!! It was a most excellent meeting!!!

The Club’s next meeting, and annual Christmas Party, will be held on December 14, 2021 at 1:00 PM, and their “Book of the Month” is The “Christmas Box” by Robert Paul Evans.
