Dear Fellow Book Club Ladies,
I almost called you book clubbers - but that sounded too violent. I wanted to take a moment of our time tonight to thank you for making my book club dreams come true. You have been true friends indeed to read, and read and read - and come each month to share the thoughts only you could share. Consider if you have read the books on our little list - you have read eight books (not including books 1, 2, and 3 of twilight!). Now I know some of us read many more and some maybe read less - but read we did - some very good books, from Austen's Captain Wentworth to Turner's Captian Elliott, from Twain's Joan to Bronte's Jane - let's not forget Meyer's Edward and Bella -
Don't worry, I don't have quiz, and sorry, I don't have a prize. But if you are here - then perhaps you think a little like me, that reading is usually it's own reward. So what I do have is a sincere thank you and word of congratulations on a year well read. Love, your fearless leader, Tamara

2009 Preview
Here is the calendar and book list for 2009!
A couple things to keep in mind: 1.) It is not set in stone. Especially if we add new members or we all agree to change a month's selection. (Ideally we will not change a book once we are within a month of the next meeting.) 2.) The author intro and treat schedule are totally negotiable. I just like working off a schedule - switching & trading assignments is OK. 3.) If you want to opt out of treat making or author introducing - that is OK, too - just let me know. That brings me to my next item 4.) This book club has always been intended to be a 'fun' thing for us: NOT a stressful thing to add to our busy lives. So no pressure - if there is a month you cannot make it - just RSVP and no worries. I'm looking forward to another great year of 'book clubbing' with you ladies.
