Meet the Author and Spa Day
The Glen Ivy Book Club is reading The School of Essential Ingredients by Erica Bauermeister.
On Wednesday, July 27 we had our final meeting in person with the author, Erica Bauermeister, at Glen Ivy Hot Springs in Corona, California.
I want to send my heartfelt appreciation to each of you who read along with me each week during Glen Ivy’s Summer Book Club. I so enjoyed reading The School of Essential Ingredients and hearing your thoughts and perspectives on the book and its characters. I always find that the reading experience is deepened when shared with others. Different opinions, viewpoints and life experiences bring out subtle but significant details that one can miss when reading on their own. Of course, the most delightful part of our Summer Book Club was our final meeting, at which we met with author Erica Bauermeister and dined on Chef Bill’s interpretations of recipes featured in the book. Connecting with Erica and hearing stories about what inspired the book and characters was a priceless experience. I am so grateful of her support of our book club and her graciousness in the time she spent at Glen Ivy with our book club readers. I always find that the camaraderie developed through the sharing of a good book and good food makes for a memorable and enjoyable experience. Here are a few memories from our day…
Be on the lookout for our Autumn Book Club selection, to be announced soon. I hope that you’ll be reading along with us!
Warm Water Wishes,
Seraphina
