Hello Steppin Out Gals!

Hello Friends!

Welcome to our Steppin Out Book Club "meeting" place. Feel free to add posts, questions about the book club, questions about the books we are reading. This might be a good place for questions we could use on our actual book club evening. It also might be a good place for book suggestions, club meeting suggestions etc... Hope to see you online :)

All the best, 

Jeanne

A Warm Welcome to all the Steppin' Out Ladies!

Welcome to our "official" Blogspot for the Hunting Ridge Reading Club Steppin' Out. This spot is a place where we can celebrate the books we have been reading and find up to date information about the next book club gathering.

Over our ten some years of gathering we have had fantastic times together. Often we met at a member's home but other times we met at a restaurant or special place with a "loungey" feel to it...I mean like a real lounge, a teacher's lounge on a rainy Saturday. We have laughed together, cried together, and sat in awe before a group of real authors who shared their stories. We passed around pictures of our kids and grand kids, cottages and puppies. We have swapped recipes, shared concerns and celebrated good health and retirements with raised glass.

Feel free to add your ideas to the blog and any book titles we might be missing. Those little grey cells seem to be diminishing with each passing season but if we all put our noodles together we'll come up with all of the books we have read.
Happy reading and see you soon!

Jeanne

Do You Remember?

Hey Girls, 

Wow! We were wondering at the last book club just how long we have been in existence... eight years? ten years? In any case we have read some wonderful books some not all of our favorites but  certainly a variety of titles. If I have missed any please add them on or just email me with your additions. Thanks to everyone for helping compile the list.

Thank you,

Jeanne

Deadly Divas!

Please excuse the delay in getting these photo's out to everyone! Thanks to Nancy for originally hosting the Divas. Deb was kind enough to open her home for yet another Deadly Diva dinner in the elegant tradition of Nancy's party we continued on with our celebration of these enchanting ladies. We had the honor, once again, of hearing how they actually compose their mysteries and what is in store for some future deadly delights. Feel free to blog about the Deadly Divas at this post.
