Chris reviewed Nina Allan's 'Spin' as an alternate history book and had beautiful language in it
Joni reviewed Google as it sees all and recommends ... poorly
Tom reviewed 'Ancillary Justice' by Ann Leckie as totally worth reading and may get his #1 Hugo vote & reviewed 'Neptune's Brood' by Charlie Stross as a rolicking space adventure & is currently re-reading Robin Hobb's series
Beth reviewed 'Orange is the New Black' as the show is good and inspires her to use the treadmill
Ric reviewed the season finale for 'Game of Thrones' as very well done - and there were many comments
Fred reviewed a documentary, 'Honest Liar' are very good
we did auctions
we adjourned at 9:30
and the rumor of the week was: 'The book is not a spoiler'
