July Book of the Month
The Other Boleyn Girl
By Philippa Gregory
This month we chose The Other Boleyn Girl which was recommended by Alba. Those of us that read the book seemed to have really enjoyed the book. The Other Boleyn Girl is the story of Mary Boleyn, younger sister to Anne Boleyn who married King Henry VIII. Through Mary Boleyn, the author tells the story of all the Boleyn siblings. We thought that the author made a wise choice by picking Mary Boleyn as the main character because she was a like-able and relate-able character who also was in all the right places to tell the story. Overall, we felt bad for the young people of that time because it seemed like their parents/family just played them as pawns to improve the status of their family. We were missing quite a few book club members this month so please comment on what you thought of the book!
We ate at an Irish restaurant called Peggy Kinnane's. The food was great and pretty much everyone who worked there was hot. No complaints! Here is our group of lovely ladies!
