Book Mark Book Review Club Oct Meeting

The Travelling Toe and several Gal Pals, are members of The Book Mark Review Club.  At the recent October meeting, Susan Boone, was the featured reviewest. She is always a delight to hear.  The book that she reviewed was, "The Little Old Lady Who Broke All The Rules".  Susan told the story in the first person which made it even funnier!

The book was written by Catharina Ingelman-Sundberg.

Here is how the book is described on Amazon:

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel meets The Italian Job in internationally-bestselling author Catharina Ingelman-Sundberg’s witty and insightful comedy of errors about a group of delinquent seniors whose desire for a better quality of life leads them to rob and ransom priceless artwork.

Martha Andersson may be seventy-nine-years-old and live in a retirement home, but that doesn’t mean she’s ready to stop enjoying life. So when the new management of Diamond House starts cutting corners to save money, Martha and her four closest friends—The Genius, The Rake, Christina and Anna-Gretta (a.k.a. The League of Pensioners)—won’t stand for it. Fed up with early bedtimes and overcooked veggies, this group of feisty seniors sets about to regain their independence, improve their lot, and stand up for seniors everywhere.

Their solution? White collar crime. What begins as a relatively straightforward robbery of a nearby luxury hotel quickly escalates into an unsolvable heist at the National Museum. With police baffled and the Mafia hot on their trail, the League of Pensioners has to stay one walker’s length ahead if it’s going to succeed.

Told with all the insight and humor of A Man Called Ove or Where’d You Go Bernadette?, The Little Old Lady Who Broke All the Rules is a delightful and heartwarming novel.

After Susan had finished her story, she did share with the group that the author had written a follow-up book called, "The Little Old Lady Who Struck Lucky Again".

Each month at the Book Mark Club, members sign up for a month to volunteer to decorate the tables. October was the month the Gal Pals and The Travelling Toe selected. Our theme was Halloween and Fall. Eleven table tops, plus the cookie table, the drink table, and the dessert table were decorated. Below are photos of the decorations taken with The Travelling Toe's trusty Iphone.  Hope you enjoy this touch of Fall!
