RIP Mr. Zinn

All I want to say about Howard, is thank you for all that he has done for American. Just in case you didn't know all the wonderful he has done I'll give you the low down. He is from a poor Jewish, factory family in Brooklyn, NY. He was a in the Air Force during WWII as a bombardier. Which he regret. He was head of the department of social science at Spelman College, which made a lot of noise and racket's in the 60s. He influence students to stand up against segregation in schools. it was so bad that the school had 30 violations jjust on the first and fourteenth amendment, lol. He wrote many articles about segregation during the time of John FK wrote some to Edgar Hoover, about the end of segregation. Zinn is all about civil rights and education and that's why I love him. He tells the history from the people's eyes in their own words, not lies you were taught school. I would definitely miss him I just wish I will have the chance to meet him. RIP Mr. Zinn

Hello my fellow book worms, I went ahead and choose Outlander for the month of Feb. going into March. As it was informed to me, you can find it for $4.50 or so at the Half Price Book Store. I will be hosting it at my home with a dinner. Ideas are welcome. fyi: I would like to host a sleep over at my place, maybe in mid-March.

Feb's Pick

FROM ACENE:

Because I'm forgot how to post on our blog, I'm reduced to sending this out on facebook.
I going you have to get a poll on which book I should pick:

Little Prince - it's about the prince setting out to explore planets and cure his loneliness.
not you can read it online at - http://www.angelfire.com/hi/littleprince/frames.html

or

Outlander by Diana Gabaldon - historical sci-fi adventure-romance story.
The Outlander is at the half price bookstore for about $8-$10.

I myself wants to read Gabaldon's book but I'm going to have you guys pick which on will suit us both.

AJ St John

Alright ladies,

So I hope you've been able to stomach this book long enough to finish it*

(please, don't throw your books at me)! lol

I've talked with Elizabeth & Mistie about this Friday (Jan. 8) being our meeting date.

Elizabeth & I have agreed on 7:30p.

Be there and bring snacks!

THIS FRIDAY, JANUARY 8th @ 7:30p!!

Sad Face

On the post for Thursday, August 13. It was about the celebration of reading with the Bushes and the one that cost like a $150. Well it stated that many other authors besides AJ JAcobs would be there, guess who was one of those other authors ...
no not that person try again
close but nope, not that one either ...
well if you didn't guess right, it was Sandra Brown.
Makes me sad because if I had known that both of them would of be there I would of saved up $150 to support the cause but also get to be in a room with really amazing writers. Just thought I would share my sad face ... :(

:no winks, eye twitches:

if you don't know who posted this, well tough stuff

ATTN: Ladies...!!

I just wanted to give you a heads up on the matter of actually locating this book. There seems to be some difficulty in finding this particular piece at any local bookstore. I, naturally, chose a book that (because it was the author's first work) was only printed in limited amounts across the country. I spoke with someone at Barnes & Noble, who told me that this typically happens with books by relatively 'unknown' authors.

HOWEVER, the book is available on several websites:

1. bn.com --they have several copies for around $5.50 or so.
2. half.com-- prices seem to be around $5.79 and up, as Jennifer mentioned.
3. amazon.com-- on this particular site, prices started at around $10

Sorry that this has become such a hassle. If I'd known it would be this difficult, I wouldn't have chosen this book. But I do know that'll be worth it--I promise!

I've ordered my copy from Amazon and am expecting to receive it on Monday (the 14th).

Sasha

Ps. Will you all let me know when you've gotten your hands on a copy?

FB me, or email me at thedreamsofravens@gmail.com

Thanks, ladies.

Mkay, Ladies....

The name of the book I've chosen is called, John Crow's Devil by Marlon James.

(See, Mistie... I'm abiding by the "rules").

My apologies for picking something that is only, currently available in hardcover.... woops!

But I do, really hope you all pick it up and read it.

I'll also post this on FB, just so you know*
