And Then There Were None: Murder Mystery Dinner

For this book club meeting, Elizabeth would like us to do a Murder Mystery Dinner. Now for this to work, everyone who says they are coming must come. So for all those interested let us know so we know how many people to plan this event around and when in the next two weeks would work best for everyone.

Also need to decide if we are having the book discussion the same day we have the Dinner or at another time altogether or if the Dinner will take place of the discussion.

So cast your vote!

Thanks

My story of the last 35 pages!

I finally finshed Elantris at 12:45am. I would of been done sooner but at 9 I had to go pick up bobby from work. At this point I have 35 pages left. But we went to Best Buy, then we went to Michelle's house to see ber christmas decorations. Which are really beautiful.

While we are at Michelles house I keep my book in my hand waiting for the moment I will not be drawn into a conversation and be able to sit on her loveseat and just read. It would not be considered rude, they are use to me having a book in my hand and casually opening the pages and getting lost in the story as they communicate around me.

Unfortunally, Michelle and I talked about christmas decor and other things, along with James Patterson, (she totally loves him and wants me to get him to come to arlington so she can meet him and kiss him. So cute, I know). She wants me to read kiss the girls and we talked about Pattersons characters.

Now I am having an internal battle, I love talking about books and characters and authors, but I also want to finish this book. What do I do? There are so many ways I can get out of this conversation and loose myself in the corner of the room and no one would be the wiser, but the way Michelle is talking about how good this story line is and the characters has my interest just as well.

I come to the finally decision to just stay in the conversation. I mean 35 pages won't take me very long, so from a little after 9 all the way to 12:13 I have 35 pages left. It was killing me not to be able to read and find out how it ends (and no I will not tell you). I get home, get under the covers and pick up the book and with much suspence in my mind I read the last 35 pages and love every waking moment of.

Arwen you picked an amazing book, I really enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I was so excited when I finished I had to text elizabeth (sorry liz, I know it was late but I just had to share the news)!

For those of you who have not yet even made a dent in the book, it is truly good and it keeps you on your toes in all the right spots.

My question of the day, who else has finished it or where are you in the book, you still have 5 more days to finish it. Good luck and happy readings.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BookClub Meeting:
Aug 16, 2009 at 9pm - Elizabeth's house
I am bring a chick-pea salad that everyone can injoy (including cara - see I remembered this time cara) I really think someone should bring chocolate covered crickets or even ants.
