Is Anyone reading the books anymore?
I would like to know if anyone has started Hood? If no one has started it then why have a discussion about it if only one person is talking about it? It doesn’t make sense to me. A book club is about chatting about a book that most of the book members had read. I was disappointed that only two members had read KC’s book and its been happening more often then not. It just seems that it’s more about a club then a book club where the people talk about office duty then books. Now I love our book club don’t get me wrong but I really would like most of us had read the book and finish it. I don’t like to be rush in reading a book by the end of a month. I just don’t think it’s fair for those who are slow readers, work & school, moms, and/or busy lives. I’m just say’n.

The Surprise and Anniversary
This pasted meeting the Surprise was announced and it was a Photo Book from Shutterfly!
This photo book goes all the way to the beginning, from 2007 to present time. It includes all members and pictures from events, out book lists, and other little tad bits.
If I have not already received your order payment, you have until Friday afternoon to let me know if you want a copy with the group discount! I will be placing the order at Noon! I can get you a copy of the book at anytime the only catch would be that you would end up paying the original price instead of a group price.
As for our Anniversary it has been decided that we will be having a Southern Ball! Yes you heard correctly, a Southern Ball! So we just need to decided on the date, it will be hosted at Sasha's house.
The weekend of Sept 17 or 18 or the weekend of Sept 24 or 25: Saturday or Sunday night. There will be a meal and like the picnic there will be a grocery list divided up among us and our guests by price. The Supper Club members will cook the dinner so other members will not have to worry about the food.
There is a dress code and you will be required to dress up, women will have to dress in gowns and men will have to dress up in suits.
More information to be posted later, right now we need to vote on when the Ball will take place, so comment below what day works best!

Reflection on The Radleys
Hello Ladies!
So, my book pick this time was The Radley's by Matt Haig. I chose this book because it was first recommended to me by a customer at work and when I read the description I was instantly intrigued. It's not your typical vampire novel and that's what makes it interesting. It tells the story of a family of vampires trying to appear normal in the suburbs of modern England. Their world is torn upside down when the daughter, Clara, accidentally kills a classmate of hers that was trying to rape her. The Radley's now have to scramble to not only tell their children they are vampires but to cover up Clara's killing. It's wonderfully told with just enough action to keep you reading. I hope everyone had as good a time at the meeting as I did!
Much Love,
KC

Hood King Raven (book one) by Lawhead
An interesting and entertaining, twist to the Robin Hood legend. Hood is nicely written with a well-researched picture of eleventh century life. I have heard it's a little too drawn-out for the non-fan of the Robin stories. Please remember it's not the same old Robin Hood story, so keep that in mind when you read it. Robin isn't so charming, just say'n.
