Next Meeting

The weekend of Sept 11 will be when Cara is in town. So that Saturday night at Misties house we will be discussing Cara's pick. Posting now so everyone has time to plan to be busy for the meeting since Cara is coming from out of town.

Comments, Questions, Concerns?

Book Club outside of the Book Club

Allison and I have formed a book club outside of our book club, picking books we would love to read but knowing we probably won't get to them. We eached picked 6 books and pulled each title out from a cup. Each book was for one month out of the year.

Well one of my pickes was Flatland by Edwin A Abbott. It is literally 82 pages. It was, like, the March pick. Of course we are now in August. Still have not finished it.

So Cara, her almightly self, I guess got tired of us complaining about how was can't seem to finish it. Went out and bought. Finished it in two days. Only difference is her copy was a 147 pages. So now she thinks she can gloat and says she really enjoyed it. The guy loved his big words.

I am not saying it is a bad book. It is actually really interesting. Its not mind-consuming and one of those books you should read out loud. Just not while taking your morning walk. Too much breath.

Allison and I will finish this book and then finally move on to the next pick. Bitter is the New Black by Lancaster!

Wish us luck

I Finished - BookClub Meeting

I finally finished Year of living biblically, tuesday. (I know late post, but hey its here) I really enjoyed it and cant wait for the big talk.

The excitment on why I am very happy I finished, I am the hardest reader in the group. Sometimes I just can't read a book no matter how good it might be. Take Elizabeth's pick persuasion. I only made to page 13. I just couldn't bring myself to read anymore.

Then there is Cara's picks. For some reason, on both of her books I have not been able to finish either one. The devil in the white city, I have about a hundred pages left to read. Chocolat, I am about half way with that one as well. Its just a mind thing I can't over come.

But I have read all the other ones. Which I am very proud of myself for doing. so 3 out of 14 books ain't all that bad. Hopefully Cara's next book I will be able to finish. Third times a charm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
