A few of us in book club are more than a little excited for the rest of you to meet a delightfully dry, brilliantly precocious girl by the name of Flavia de Luce. She is the star of our next book "The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie" or, (if you already have the other book) "The Weed that Strings the Hangman's Bag". There was a bit of debate at book club last night as to whether we should read the second one, as was originally posted as our book for November, or switch to the first book in the series. The books don't necessarily go in a certain order. Meaning, you
could read the books out of order and not miss much. There are a few references to events that happened in previous books, but nothing crucial. However, I think we all came to the conclusion that starting at the very beginning is a very good place to start. So, over the next few cold, windy snowy rainy and generally unpleasant weeks, I encourage you to curl up w/ your favorite blanket and Alan Bradley's "The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie". You will enjoy every bite!
