The November Meetup has been scheduled for Monday, November 30th.
The votes are in and competition was fierce this time! We actually have a tie between Speed Shrinking and After You. Since Speed Shrinking accumulated votes the quickest, I have decided that we will read Speed Shrinking for November and, unless there are any objections, we will read After You for our next meetup, probably in January.
Speed Shrinking - Susan Shapiro:
In Shapiro's bubbly latest, self-help guru Julia Goodman is fresh out of advice. Just as Julia is about to follow up her bestseller Up in Smoke with a book about controlling her food addiction, her shrink, Dr. Ness, and best friend, Sarah, both leave New York, sending her into a cupcake-scarfing tailspin. Soon she has packed on some extra pounds that she must lose before Food Crazy is published. To make matters worse, her director husband, Jake, has been called away to L.A., leaving no one to stop her late-night binges. Without Dr. Ness's tough talk, Sarah's help and Jake's love, Julia searches for a new support system, interviewing eight shrinks in eight days. Her selection, Dr. Cigar, only complicates her quest to return to her svelte weight in time for her Today show interview, leaving her to find her own answers to the weight question. Shapiro rescues a conventional plot with an original voice and an energy that will resonate with anyone who's ever stared down a Twinkie.
Hope to see you there.
“ Wonderful group...hope to get to know them better since this was my first meeting. ”
