Yorkshire Yanks Book Club - Sat March 7th Meeting

HME and I are meeting in city centre a little bit earlier for a bit of a wander, so we'll see everyone at the Tiled Hall Cafe.  Unless you're afraid you won't find your way there?  But I have confidence in y'all, your Google mapping devices, not to mention my directions.    But let me know if you're afeared! 

Thanks to everyone who turned out for the book club yesterday!  It was great seeing the familiar faces as well as meeting some new peeps. 

We'll await more details (exjerseygirl and/or Meg  ) on the April 4th meeting - hopefully in York (persephone?  ) - the April book being Taste: The Story of Britain Through Its Cooking.

It was great to see everyone.    
I really talked ExtraordinaryGeorgiaGyrl's ear off though.   

I had a brilliant time down in Leeds Saturday (Mrs. R - excellent site choice!).  It was lovely meeting ExtraordinaryGeorgiaGirl and Janine (and I loved hearing EGG bring out Meg's southern drawl!).  Many warm thanks to all who made it and all who made it possible.

I think persephone is checking on the viability of a particular York location, so once we hear back from her we'll (Meg or me or someone) will post April's meet-up details.

For those interested in May's meet up, we had a bit of a chat Saturday about lightening the May load since the April book is a big ol' nonfiction read.  We've got a couple ideas floating - including a poetry session where everyone brings their favorite poem, She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb, Revolutionary Road (which I think we agreed was doing to wait until late summer), and one or two other books I can't recall at the moment.  May also promises to be complicated with lots of people traveling and/or being visited by family and friends.

For those really into long-term planning, June's meet-up is currently scheduled for Saturday, June 6th.  No book or place chosen as of yet.

...the April book being Taste: The Story of Britain Through Its Cooking.

Interestingly enough, Amazon.co.uk has just let me know that since I'm reading Taste: The Story of Britain Through Its Cooking - that I'd probably also like to read Clean: An Unsanitised History of Washing...as I sit here in my bathrobe, not having showered yet.  What are they trying to say?!

What a great title - are you going to buy it Carolyn? I'll go halves with you

I was going to ask you Mrs R would you like me to put a link / listing to this next meet on the Expats in Yorkshire group on Facebook?

ETA:  Stoopid me I just realised I can't make it - DH's cousin's getting married on the 4th!     I would rather be at the bookclub though (and DH probably would as well).
