Storie Delle Sorelle book club
Heather Johnson started this club in 2005, "emailing every woman in my address book." The group of friends and relatives (including her sister and mother) now numbers about 20 from the Annapolis-Baltimore area. The "Stories of the Sisters" also has a killer blog: http://storiedellesorelle.blogspot.com/.
Now reading: Unholy Grail by D.L. Wilson, who will meet with the group for its discussion.
Liked a lot: Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver, Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden
Not so much: Charming Billy by Alice McDermott, Wicked by Gregory Maguire
