December Book

Book Club was all spread out last month, but most of us got to go see the new Twilight movie!  Gotta love our guilty pleasures.  So new month new book.  This month the book is "The Forgotten Garden" by Kate Morton.  If you're thinking it's a spin off of "The Secret Garden" you are wrong.  The similarities are in some of the names, and an orphan going to live with a crippled kind of creepy uncle.  That's about it.  It's a bit of a haunting mystery type of read.

Book club meeting this month is TBD.  The holidays are hard to get together, but maybe there's a time when most of us can.  Check FB to voice any ideas.  We also would like to do a little reorganization with our book choosing order.  It's all out of whack now since we lost some, and some are just too busy to even think about reading for fun, so let's discuss when we next meet.

Happy reading, and Happy Holidays.  Love you all!

November Book

So book club was fun this month.  Those of us who were able took in our traditional "Twilight" movie, and then lunch after!  Only one movie left to go ladies, then what?

So this month's book is Aubrey's pick.  It's Caleb's Crossing by Geraldine Brooks.  It's a historical fiction about an Indian boy (with an Indian name I can't even pronounce or type here), but his christian name is Caleb.  It's based on the 1st native american who got an education and degree from Harvard I believe, and his journey to becoming or learning about christianity.  It's an interesting read so far.

I'm not sure when book club will be held for December, but Amy expressed an interest in having it at her house so watch on FB for updates.  Enjoy reading...especially during your break if you get one.

October's Book

Well we're well into the month, and I have yet to update the blog.  I guess I could just let it fall by the way side like I did with my own blog, but I'm determined to try and keep it up.  Not sure who reads this any more but at least it's out there.

So this month's book is Casting Off by Nicole R. Dickerson.  It's a short sweet feel good kind of read.  Hopefully some of us have read by the time we meet for book club.

This month meet at my house 6pm.  Call me if you need directions.  See you soon
