Marg, the Golden Dumplings look delicious. Thanks for the recipe. I'm planning on attending your book club in October. I've been wanting to read Kingsolver's book.

Marg, I have DC on order at the library. I am certain it is quite popular, so good to know we have time.

I just finished another one of your recommendations, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane. A delightful story for kids which is how I felt while reading. Currently reading one of my favorite authors, Abigail Thomas, Still Life at Eighty. Thank you for more insights on your post.

I'm sorry to hear about your back, Marg - I'm a bit behind on my emails so I didn't know. Rest up and take care of yourself x

Enjoyable as always, Marg! I’ve never heard of or tried sweet dessert dumplings, but I do love golden syrup, so these sound like something I’d just lap up!

I’m looking forward to finishing Demon Copperhead, which I’ve been listening to and reading slowly, with interruptions as my library renewals run out while other readers demand a turn. It’s clearly very popular. I think it’s a good choice for a book club as it’s multilayered, with a first-person narrator whose tale is equal parts heartbreaking and inspiring, but also filled with humor and deep empathy.

I just started a novel I’m enjoying quite a lot called Saturday Night at the Lakeside Supper Club, by J. Ryan Stradal. It’s a story about a Midwestern (U.S.) family struggling to hold onto a beloved restaurant, each other, and a way of life. I’m finding it an entertaining read while on a summer road trip.
