Happy Anniversary!

25 books - a silver anniversary!
The BPYC Book Club celebrated 25 books with 25 delicious red velvet cupcakes specially baked by Annika.

Each muffin was adorned with a miniature book cover of one of the titles we'd read. (This photo was snapped with my cell phone and didn't turn out so well - hopefully someone else has a better shot.)

o yes, the book, The Sea Captain's Wife, was enjoyed by all.  An appropriate pick for a sailing club!

I didn't even realize I'd be celebrating 2 silver anniversaries this month!

Our group has sampled a good mix of titles:  historical fiction, memoir, non-fiction, suspense.  Almost half the books are by Canadians - three of whom have been able to attend the meetings in person.

2 1/2 years have passed in good company.
