August 28, 2022 The Tree of Knowledge (Jocelyn’s Pick)

Discussion: Jocelyn- I thought it was an easy read. It felt like a tale that’s already been told. Nothing really in depth about this one. Might recommend. 2.5/5 Julie- I think it had potential but fell short. This author didn’t know what he was doing. Would not recommend. 1.5/5 Caitlin- This book was …..okay. Not my style of writing. Very basic. Would never recommend. 3/5 Ali- Didn’t think I’d finish. Thought in the beginning it could be good, but the end was so dumb. Liked the riddles. Would recommend to certain people. 3/5 Favorite Characters: Jocelyn- Ying and Evalita Julie- Salazar Caitlin- Turner Ali- Brick $$$ Balance: $400 even, everyone paid up. Book pick is The Hacienda by Isabel Canas 321pgs. Next club is October 2nd on Julie’s new porch. Bring your own goods. Next book pick is Ali Lunch: Scramble Hash, Salmon Quinoa Salad, Bagel Sandwich, Hummus and Crackers. And Ciders Announcements: Jocelyn-I live in a frat house now, Animals and men everywhere.
