Pool Hopper!

Discussion:  Six Years was definitely one of the "more enjoyable" books we've read in the last few months!  We admired Harlan Coben's writing, and appreciated the great deal of suspense throughout the book.  Our interesting conversation about the book kept leading us off on a tangent.  We had to keep getting back on track since we were drifting onto MANY personal TMI discussions!  This happened to create another book club rule...."What happens at book club, stays at book club"!  

We enjoyed a beautiful night, poolside, discussing the book.  Sherry's pug, Phoebe, provided us with entertainment for the evening.  There was this intruder, our feathered friend the duck, swimming in the pool and walking on the patio.  Phoebe felt violated by this creature and tried to scare it away.  Unfortunately, the duck felt no fear and just ran into the pool.  Eventually, he flew out and Phoebe got her way.  

I think we over welcomed our stay when Zoe, Sherry's other pug, decided to "kick us out" around 11:00 pm.  Haha!
Barbara, our BCDP Winner!

BCDP:  Sherry dove into the theme of the book and created a cd of songs from 2007 which was "6 Years ago"!  Also, a photo taken of 4 members of the group "6 Years ago"!  Barbara won!  She will be bringing home the knife and sharing a dessert with us next month! 

Recommendation:  With an average rating of 3.5, our book club would recommend this book.  Some of us have already started reading other books written by Harlan Coben.   If you are looking for a pleasant, suspenseful, easy read....check it out!

Side note:  Our book club meeting happened to fall on Roger's (Joyce's husband) birthday!  He received a singing telegram from the book club!  :)  Lucky him.....
