This Sunday

So haven't really heard from many people about book club. Its this Sunday, August 3rd. Shannon volunteered to host (thank you)! How does 1 or 2 sound? Does that work for most people? I will let Shannon send out her address and/or directions.

We could have people bring some sort of food to share, like we have the past few times. It seems to be easiest as our group has gotten larger.

Think about what book you would like to suggest next.

Please vote in the poll on the side, if you will be attending on Sunday or not. Thanks!!

Summer Date

So, based on the responses from those who responded, it looks like the best date is Sunday, August 3rd. We now need to decide on a place and time. Leave comments for volunteers and suggestions for time.

Summer Book Club

I know its been awhile, but I haven't forgotten about this blog. It think its about time that we start thinking about our next book club. We have our book, we just need a place and date! Of course, during the summer, finding a date may be very hard. One option, that we've done before is a weeknight evening. Or we can try to find a weekend. We can never find a date that is perfect for EVERYONE, so I wouldn't expect this to be any different.

So please, to keep emails at a minimum, leave a comment with some date suggestions, or if we just want to try a weekend or evening. Oh, and if you would like to host, feel free to mention that in a comment also.

Oh, and I have finished the book already, so I have a copy to loan, if anyone wants it.

Summer Book

Our next book (sometime this summer) is:

Glass Castle - Jeanette Walls

JN had suggested all pitching in for a book on cd, and then passing it around among us.

http://www.amazon.com/Glass-Castle-Memoir-Jeannette-Walls/dp/1419339796/ref=ed_oe_a

From amazon, its only $23, so between a few people, it won't be very much.

I also have a copy and am going to read it early, and then can loan the book out.

What we've read...

Handmaids Tale
Kite Runner
The Giver
Midwives
My Sisters Keeper
The Little Prince
Angels and Demons
Lucky
Memiors of a Geisha
Brave New World
Everything is Illuminated

This Sunday

Book club is this Sunday. I am offering up my house this time. How does 1:00 sound? Or even 2:00. Please be sure to leave a comment if you will be coming and what time works best.
I will be making some snacks, but if you could also bring a small snack or dessert? It will be really casual. Hope that sounds good for everyone!

If you need directions, let me know.

And remember to come with your next book suggestion!

Its A Date!

Based on the poll, the date of our next book club is: Sunday, April 6th. This gives us all plenty of time to read the book. I'll update the blog (and send a email) in a few weeks. Hope lots can join us and we can have a nice group and great discussion!!!

Date and Location

Let's try to start thinking about when we should have our next book club...
I created a poll on the side. Please vote (you can pick more than one date).
I can host this bookclub. Most of my Saturday's are busy, I'm putting Sunday dates in the poll. Hopefully we can find a date that works for most of us.

The poll will close on Monday.

Book Club? Do we still have bookclub?

Ok, so its been awhile. So we need to get things together and plan our next book club. Here is the first of a bunch of posts that will be coming up to get our next book club meeting started. This post is to announce our book...just in case you missed the last meeting. I'll add more posts later to decide on date (thinking end of Feb/beginning of March) and place.

So, without further ado....our book:
Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer.
