Meeting Wrap-Up

Thanks to everyone who came tonight including Amy who gave the author into and Tara who brought yummy treats & everyone's great comments. Our book for next month will be Little Women by Louisa Alcott. (I made this switch for a few reasons, one being that "I am a mother" by Jane Clayson is 15.95 @ DB). I like having books we can get at the libary or borrow. If I pick up a copy of Clayson's book - I will pass it around, so let me know if you are interested.

Our next meeting is October 22nd and it is the time of year when I ask for book ideas. So-get your lists ready, at least five titles - you know, classics or similar or a new book that has been reccomended/read by someone who can give background. I compile the list from everyone and we work on that to get our list for 2010. (wow, it's wierd just writing that date!)

I also wanted to ask anyone recieving the book club emails if you are still interested in participating in Book Club next year? If you are, that is great - I love to have you. If for whatever reason you do not think you want to attend - please let me know and I will take your email off the list so you do not get bombarded with all the announcements.

Thanks and have a great weekend. Happy Reading. Love, Tamara

A Few Items

Thanks to everybody who came last week. We had a great discussion and yummy treats - thank you Lani! I forgot to hand out the circle journal - if anyone wants it that hasn't had it yet - let me know - otherwise I'll give it to whoever is next on the list. Also, for anyone that wasn't there - we are reading Lonesome Gods by Louis L'Amour for September, but the books for October and November might change. I'm checking on them and will let you know. Have a great day & happy reading. ~ Tamara

Circle Journal?

So I checked the blog today and realized there hadn't been a post since April. Summer has a way of demanding all your time, doesn't it? I was wondering who has the circle journal - please let me know. I am going to be better about helping it move along and a few who had it earlier in the year have asked if they could look at it/read it to see what else had been written. Our next meeting is still scheduled for August 27th and we are reading Laddie/Porter (400 pages - yikes - I better get reading!). I posted new assignments on the sidebar, too. Thanks for all your input and support. Love Tamara

Meeting Wrap-Up

Thanks to everyone who came & for another great discussion. We always miss those who can't make it-but we understand. News from the meeting: Amy is working on finding a Friday night for us to get together and watch North and South. Let her know if you have an open Friday in May. (Even if you haven't read the book - the movie is great!) The book for May is still "Little Britches" by Moody - but we will be meeting at Cherene's house - May 28th. We'll be sure and send another reminder email with the start time and new assignments. I'll be revising those because we have all these great new ladies coming to book club. It was great to have Lani and Tami Longhurst join us last night. The only other news I can't help myself from sharing is Michelle's (wedding) date: May 16th!!! Congrats Michelle - we are all excited for you.

Welcome!

Just wanted to say welcome to Johnna and Lani. Johnna was a good sport to visit our group last week with such short notice. We loved having you come! I talked with Lani yesterday and she is planning on meeting with us in April. We are looking forward to it. If anyone has any tips on where Noth and South is the cheapest and/or libraries that have copies - let us know. Thanks & have a great day. Love, Tamara

New Year, New Look

Hello Everyone,

I finally took some time to learn more about blogging and give our blog an updated look. I hope you like it. I'm also trying to have current info on here as well. It's a little early for the RSVP email but I don't mind hearing how the reading is going and if you happen to know already if you have a conflict for next Thursday - that's good to know too. Hope you are well & enjoy your spring break. Love, Tamara
