Hey girls, it's KC here!
I just wanted to post a small reflection about the meeting. I chose Serial Killers Club by Jeff Povey. It's about a guy who accidentally kills a serial killer known as the Grandson of Barney and finds a small want ad in his pocket inviting Grandson of Barney to a party hosted by Errol Flynn. Curious our hero, known to us as Dougie, attends in GOB's place and discovers a club for Serial Killers. Who knew such a thing existed? Dougie decides to join the club and pretends to be GOB and along the way meets FBI Agent Wade who tells Dougie he has 2 months to kill the members of the club or Dougie will be put in jail for his murders. As Dougie carries out his task of killing serial killers he falls in love with a new club recruit Betty. He also discovers that the infamous Kentucky Killer has come to town and Agent Wade is obsessed with tracking down and getting KK. Dougie later discovers that KK was none other than his beloved Betty, who only pretended to like him so she could kill him. Betty kills Agent Wade and Dougie kills Betty. The book ends with Dougie telling us he uses Agent Wade's car and badge and is continuing his vigilante search for serial killers.
The reason I chose this book was that I thought it was very interesting and it gives a bit of insight on what goes on in a serial killers mind. I also liked it because the main character is an idiot and still manages to do something smart. In the meeting we talked about whether or not we would follow in Dougie's example and impersonate a serial killer. We also discussed how there was a bit of ambiguity in who the Kentucky Killer was and why the serial killers were so arrogant with their own safety until the end of the book.
We also surprised Misty with an early birthday cake and card! The look on her face was priceless! We also did an awards ceremony. As is detailed in the posts below. All in all I think the meeting went well and had fun. I hope you all agree and have a good weekend!
Much Love,
KC

Great News ...
We offically have a bank account and we also have a tax exempt number ... Woo Hoo!
So, now that we are tax exempt we can buy the book selections in units. At our next meeting we will figure out how to work this but for right now we kind of have to play by ear ...
Now comes the disucssion part, Borders has:
5 copies of beyond heaving bosoms for 15.00
10 copies of Wrinkle in time for 6.99
So if you want Elizabeth or Mistie to purchase either copies let us know you want one and we need to set up a date for you to give other the money. Or if you already have a copy, also let us know, just comment below.

Bookclub Breakfast-- Details
Hey there, gorgeous ladies.
Just wanted to give you all some updates on the details for this coming Saturday's meeting (Nov. 20th at 9:00am) for Tar Baby.
Food:
So far, French Toast, Apple Pancakes & Blueberry Muffins are on the menu. However, I will also be making bacon & eggs for anyone who may want something other than bread. lol
If you'd like to bring something as simple as a bowl of fruit or a pitcher of orange juice, go for it! This is not a fancy schmancy meeting with wine & chocolate covered strawberries like my last book (sorry, ladies) it's all about relaxation, this time around. Which brings me to my next subject:
Attire:
I know we don't usually concern ourselves with what we wear to a bookclub meeting, but due to the nature of this meeting Jen & I made an executive decision to ask everyone to come in their pajamas. That's right, ladies--> you need only complete two steps the morning of this meeting.

Book Quest Next Journey
11/6/10: The meeting is now being moved to the week or weekend after Nov 15. The rest should still fall into place.
Our next book pick is from Sexy Silky Sasha ...
It is Tar Baby by Toni Morrison
Since it is the holiday season we talked about have our next meeting the weekend of Nov 13, before Thanksgiving.
Then follow that with the next pick the weekend of Dec 11. That way it really does not get to close to the holidays. Hopefully everyone will be able to come to this meeting for our Holiday/Secret Santa/ Gift Exchange gathering.
This is also makes it available for those who like to plan ahead, they know about the time frame of our meetings and fingers crossed it does not mess anyone's holiday schedule.
