January's Book

Happy 2012 ladies!  It's a new month and a new book.  This month the book is Daddy Long Legs by Jean Webster.  It's so fun to have each of us picking a new book each month because there are so many books that I've never heard of before.  This is one of them.  I read that this book is really popular in Iran, and for those just learning english as a 2nd language.  It's also a classic piece of literature written in 1912, so I'm really excited to read it.  There was also a movie made with Fred Astair, and not sure who else.  Way fun!

Book club will be on Saturday January 28th at Susan Alexander's home.  I'm not sure of the address or time, but I'm sure it will all be posted on FB!  Can't wait to discuss.

I'll just throw this out in the blogger wind...Did anyone read last month's book?  Me...Me...I Did!  :)

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.
