Welcome to our Book Club Blog!!

We now have a blog for our book club. I hope you like the name of it. We can use this blog to decide on the books we read, date of the meetings and where. We can also post links to questions, keep our running book list, and lots more. As we go along, we can make changes and decide what is the best way to use this. The main hope is that this will eliminate the endless e-mails to our indecisiveness!!

Almost there...

So, it seems like Wednesday the 17th won the poll. Will people be able to read the book that quickly? Or should we push it to the following Wednesday? I'm think one extra week would be good, since I probably won't get the book until this weekend.

So how does Wednesday, Feb 24th work for everyone? Do I need a poll? Can people just leave a comment or write me an email?

Thanks!

Let's Decide

I kind of dropped the ball on planning this one. Sorry. But its a short book and I know no one reads it months in advance anyway. So we should still be able to plan a gathering before the end of Feb. Really, all we need to do is pick a date. I put a poll up on the side. Select any date you are available. We will go with majority and hopefully almost everyone can make it!!! I picked all dates that are mid-Feb on, which are about two weeks or more away.

Happy New Year, Happy New Book

Hi Everyone.

I wanted to get a jump start on this year's book club. At our last book club, Animal Farm was picked as our next book selection. We discussed meeting in mid-February, since it is a shorter book. Those who were there agreed that a week night evening worked well and we would try it again.



Before trying to pick a date, please let a comment about what nights during the week DO NOT work. Once I have an idea of what days are out, I will make a poll to decide the date.

Also, let me know your thoughts on meeting at Panera. It seemed to work well the last two times, but if we want to mix it up and have it at people's houses again, speak up and give your opinion!

Tonight

Reminder that book club is tonight, at 6:00 at Panera (Airport Square, near the mall). As Elizabeth, mentioned finishing the book is never a requirment for coming! So please come, regardless if you finished the book or not.

Also, I wanted to reminder everyone to come with a book suggestion for our Spring 2010 book club. And bring your calendars, so we can maybe pick a date in advance.

Looking forward to seeing everyone tonight!!

Tuesday

Book club is scheduled for Tuesday, Novemeber 17th.
How does 6:00 sound? Does that give people time to get home if they need to (ie me...I need to take grace home and then head back out) or its not too late, if people stay at work?

And let's have a casual dinner...I like the idea of Panera again. Its central to everyone and has a big-ish selection of food for people (and its not too expensive).

Does that sound good for everyone? Any big objections, please email and I will update!

Now I just have to read the book!!!

Thanks!

A Tie?

OK, so both polls ended in ties...I will be the tie-breakers...

I am removing my vote for the book, so the winner is
Old Man and the Sea.

And because the 11th is next Wednesday (only 5 days away), the date of book club is Tuesday, November 17th.

I hope both are OK for most everyone. As I said before, lets not cancel and reschedule, or we aren't ever going to have book club.

Now, we just need to pick a place...any suggestions?
