Sorry folks.  Due to a household emergency, we’ve had to postpone the recording of the next Book Club segment scheduled for tonight.  We are hoping to re-schedule for some time over the weekend and will post/Tweet the info as soon as it’s available for anyone to participate.

I hope everyone had a great holiday and we look forward to getting back into the show.
