November Sip Recap

Sisters,
I wanted to thank my sistah's who braved the cold and rain and attended November’s sip. Teacup, thanks so much for our special dessert treat, “Punchbowl” cake. Three words: De-lish-ous! It was so beautiful; I had to take a picture


We missed you Menie!  Thank you for reading our SST Poem via "conference call"!!!

We had a great time discussing this month’s book, “Beautiful, Dirty, Rich” by J.D. Mason. There was a lot of discussion (yes we had to bring the bell out) about the characters and story.


SST Rating: 8

Goes to show you, you can't judge a book by it's cover!!! Believable or not, it was a fun read!  So much so we decided to continue with J. D.’s sequel, "Drop Dead Gorgeous".  So for those of you who did not get a chance to read "Beautiful, Dirty, Rich", you have December and January to read both books before our next sip.


JANUARY BOOK OF THE MONTH:





"Desimonda returned to seek out revenge in Beautiful, Dirty, Rich. Now her best friend, Lonnie, is out for a little payback of her own

Lonnie Adebayo, best friend to Desimonda Greene, is a walking, talking billboard for the old adage, “You can’t keep a good woman down.”  But Jordan Gatewood has done so much more than just try and keep her down. He made a huge mistake when he put his hands on her, thinking that he could get away with it.  But he made an even bigger mistake by not making sure that she was dead before he left that house. Finding his secret half-brother is just the beginning of Lonnie’s plot for revenge."

Drop dead gorgeous is available on Kindle, Hardcover, Paperback and Audio at Amazon.com


SST BUSINESS:

We talked about having books we didn't choose to read as a group listed on our website. We've all seen books we would like to read on our own, but if you’re like me—you forget.

So we are going to list the books there were suggested at previous sips that were not chosen at the bottom of the "Reading List" page. This will also be a great resource if you want to bring one of those books to vote again on.  There always seem to be a close tie when we vote on some of these.


Ladies we are behind on submitting our annual dues!! Please remember to bring you $15 per person to the Holiday Social.

GUESTS/NEW MEMBERS

We had two guests join us at the November sip. 
A special SSTto Tina Watson and Denise Parson-Hicks.  

Both ladies jumped right into the discussion and fit perfectly in!
