You're right! I had totally forgotten it: now that I've started it it came back to mind!!!

I've just started our Group read Sea of Tranquility and at the same time a novel for a Group read of my local library: The Round House: we'll discuss it next Tuesday, right the day of my 55th birthday!
After the chat we'll go drinking!!!
