The Hooked on Books Club at their March meeting.

March’s Book Club meeting proved to be a fabulous afternoon, and great fun!!  Hostesses Brenda Berger, Jo Beth Staff, and Darla Miles followed the theme of our book, Blood and Money, to a “T”, complete with Chocolate Eclairs, tablecloths with mock bloody handprints, hundred-dollar bill napkins, and petri dishes scattered about the room!!  So Awesome, and So much FUN!!! Attendees enjoyed delicious hors d’oeuvres, fruit, desserts, and beverages while chatting, laughing, and enjoying each other’s company.
Afterward, we got serious and held a long and in-depth discussion about Blood and Money, its characters, and the long and winding story of power, money, bribery, death, murder, deceit, and greed, with the threads of high society and low life of the underworld intertwining and colliding in Houston, Texas in the late 60’s and early 70’s.  The discussion was passionate and engaging, with lots of pros and cons on the subjects, and even a vote on the guilt or innocence of the doctor in his wife’s death!!  The majority found him guilty!!!!  All agreed it was a great book, even if long and detailed, and it proved to be a great book for Book Club discussion!!  Great Job, Hostesses!!!
The Book Club’s next meeting will be on April 12, 2022 at 2:00 p.m., and our book is Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate. If you would like to join “Hooked On Books”, please email your contact information to alanehaardt@yahoo.com.  All are welcome!!
