Elevenses

1. I think we should talk about the discussions questions over tea and cakes. I've finished the reading, by the way.
2. It might be a little late for Aaron or others to read this one. They can join us for February.
3. Over tea and cakes, let's suggest some titles for our next book.
4. Quotable line: "When spring comes, it melts one snowflake at a time..."
5. I never expected this kind of book. I only mentioned it because of a Borders email I got.
6. The other day this lady, seeing Aanor toting his copy of the book, said, "I've got to read that. I've heard it's fantastic. It's on the lampstand by my bed."
7. "Elevenses" is a British saying for taking a mid-morning (11 a.m) break for tea and cakes.
8. "red as henna" (171). Henna (noun): 1. an Asian shrub or small tree, Lawsonia inermis, of the loosestrife family, having elliptic leaves and fragrant flowers. 2. a reddish-orange dye or cosmetic made from the leaves of this plant. 3. a color midway between red-brown and orange-brown.
For you all, a thousand times over, Love,
Hondo

Hey, if Toya can read it in one day, then Aaron can too!

About the tea and cakes, that sounds good, but hot cocoa and scones sounds yummy too. We'll be there to celebrate us actually reading a book together and for a couple birthdays**! Well, see ya!

I'm reading. I have time. It's easier that Dante. Elevenses sounds good. Milk and brownies would be a my pick.
