We had a great book group meeting tonight and thoroughly enjoyed our 45 minute phone conversation with author Arliss Ryan. She offers on her website to do this for any book group, but we were the first to actually contact her. And it was the first time my group had done anything like this, so it was new to everyone. Considering that, it went very well. Even my cell phone on speaker worked fine; I was worried that we wouldn't be able to hear her or she wouldn't be able to hear us. In the book, Will and Anne are always treating themselves to "sticky buns" from the baker, so our refreshments tonight were assorted sweet rolls from Central Pastry.
