Fall Book Club Plans

Hi Everyone!

Several us got together last night and talked about what we want to do going forward. We are planning to meet at my house in September to discuss "Girls on the Edge" and "Boys Adrift" (optional). In October we will meet at Michelle's house, November we will meet at Maria's house and discuss the book "I Am Malala" by Malala Yousafzai. I imagine we will choose to skip December and meet again at the beginning of January.

I still want to try to include youth. What if we discuss the youth book every other month in addition to just getting together? I know a lot of the adults enjoy the youth books and it would be fun to have youth attend on those evenings if they would like to. I propose we discuss "Esperanza Rising" in October at Michelle's house. We didn't talk about this though, so a "yay", "nay" or different proposals are welcome! :)

November Book Club - Thursday, Nov 1st, 7pm at Maria's

Hi All, Happy Halloween :) Who is up for discussing books tomorrow? Maria is willing to host at her house. We will discuss "I am Malala" as well as "Esperanza Rising" if anyone has read these. Let me know if you have had a chance to read either of these and if so which one, or if you've read both. Then we will know where to take our discussion. If you don't know where Maria lives, text me 919-619-7873 and I will send you her address.  Please reply here and let us know if you plan to attend. I myself am a maybe for the moment (baby boy wants to nurse all the time and we haven't come to an agreement on how to work that out). Happy Reading :)

January and February Books

Thank you Conna for hosting a very fun Book Club get together where we talked about our favorite Christmas Picture books. So Fun! We plan to talk about Airman by Eion Colfer in January. In February we plan to talk about any of Melanie Dickerson books from her Fairy Tale Romance Series. (I have heard The Merchant's Daughter is a favorite, but that all of them are good, so pick one and we will see you in February!) If you would like to host a book club let me know! Otherwise we can always have them at my place. What else have you been reading that you love? Or don't love? Enjoy the Christmas Season and happy reading!!
