Ivan Doig reading

Ivan Doig, author of the Whistling Season, which we read a couple of years ago, has a new book out called "Work Song." Haven't read it yet, but I'm putting it on my list. He's going to do readings at a number of local bookstores. As a fan of Whistling Season, I'd love to hear him. He's going to be at the Third Place Books at Lake Forest Park at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, June 29. Other appearances include July 7 at the U Village Barnes and Noble; July 10 at Elliott Bay, and July 29 at Parkplace Books in Kirkland. There are others, but these look like the most convenient. They were all listed in Sunday's Seattle Times.

Summer books

Be sure to put August 17 on your calendar for our summer meeting, location, menu, etc. TBD.
I hope everyone is enjoying some great summer reading (one thing about our lousy weather--it does encourage curling up with a good book). I'm starting a list of books I've recently enjoyed. Send me your new faves so I can include them too.
