Sisterhood’s Book Club has selected its next two books. For the meeting on Monday, Dec. 5, we are reading Peony: A Novel of China by Pearl S. Buck. (Please make note of the author so you don’t confuse this book with the similarly titled one by Lisa See.) Jayne Gordon will host the December meeting at her home in Beverly. For the meeting on Wednesday, Jan. 11, we are reading Songs for the Butcher’s Daughter by Peter Manseau. The meeting will be hosted by Paige Katzenstein at her Beverly home. Book Club meetings begin at 7:30 p.m. and are open to all interested readers.  

The TBA kitchen is in dire need of new dish towels, aprons and sponges. Please consider dropping off a few supplies for the new year. In keeping with the color-coded meat and dairy theme, we need dish towels that are solid yellow (dairy) and solid blue (meat). Sponges need to be in packs of yellow and packs of blue. Aprons can be either white or blue–it’s nearly impossible to find yellow aprons! Sisterhood thanks you!  

Do you have a good book on your reading list? Sisterhood’s Book Club is considering selections for the upcoming year, and wants your suggestions. Please send titles to Anita Freed or leave a comment on this post. Book Club tends to read Jewish-themed books, but not always. Meetings resume this fall, so watch for announcements of meeting dates and titles.
