March 29, 2025 The Wager (Caitlin’s Pick)

Discussion: Caitlin- Old timey language was hard to follow. The conditions were absolutely nuts! Politics are still just as schemey today. Liked learning the old sayings that created our sayings today. Enjoyed the pictures. WRTCP/WRA. 3.5/4 FC-Byron Jocelyn- An amazing mind-blowing tale! I loved the writing style and how the story was laid out. Reminded me how crazy the adventures of the past were. I would never have survived this one. AHR/WRA 4.5/5 FC-Bulkeley (worker) and Cummins (cook) Julie- First impression was I was excited about this author. Was not an exciting read. As a teacher I’m upset in general about this time in history. They were thieves! Crazy story but read too much like a history book. WRTC/WRA (because of killers of a flower moon). 2.5/5 FC- Bulkeley Ali- The book was okay. Enjoyed the tales of mutiny more than when they were at sea. They wasted time and should have killed each other. Didn’t need so much detail. Felt like reading for school. WNR/ WRA (because of killers of a flower moon). 3/5 FC- None Balance $$$- $682.76 Next book: The Fox Wife by Yangsze Choo 392pgs Next club @ Jocelyn’s House 9:30 Breakfast Club Hostess Cocktail- None. Hiked into HC for a picnic BYOB Announcements: Next club possibly May 17th or May 24th Anniversary celebration June 7th Still deciding on activities.
