We had a very different sort of meeting last night. For starters - there were only 6 of us. And - only Sheila had finished the book!!! But we still managed to have a great discussion about the book because the themes were present throughout the book and we had all read enough to understand and discuss. All of us intend to finish the book as we are all enjoying reading it. We used an iPad to enhance our meeting last night. We actually had a couple of iPads and a couple of iPhones there......Anyway - re the discussion - Janet I had located sites to use for discussion and rather than printing stuff out we went green and used the iPad to access the sites. We also used the iPad to research book ideas for upcoming books. And we selected books through the end of August! I even updated the blog a bit during the meeting - using the iPad - excuse the typos! Not as good with that iPad keypad....

97 Orchard : an edible history of five immigrant families in one New York tenement
I've mentioned this one in the past - doesn't it sound interesting? It's a look at immigrant life through five families and ties in culinary stuff, too. Just a thought.
