Hello Ladies,
Feb 13 @ 8pm
Discussing: Beyond Heaving Bosoms
The meeting will be held at Mistie's place and unfortunately I am scheduled to work till 8 but am going to put in a request to leave 15-20 minutes earlier then that. So, if you show up at my apartment and you don't see my car just give me a few minutes. I will send out a text when I get home. Very excited about meeting and I will have snacks and since no one really wanted anything specific I am just going with my ideas ... see you Sunday!
ps, if you have any picures from our gatherings PLEASE bring them or email them to our bookclub email. Thanks!

ATTENTION ALL BOOK CLUB MEMBERS:
Sasha here! And with some exciting news...
I am creating a supper club that will have its very first monthly "meeting" in March! It's my pleasure to invite my lovely book club beauties to be a part of this new idea, as a way for us to well...eat, first off, and to get to know each other outside of our beloved book club. Not to mention trying new & exciting food that we've never tasted or even cooked before!
If you are interested, go to the very top of this page, click 'Design'. At the top of the next page, click 'Dashboard', look for 'Blogs I Follow' and click on the one that says 'Fierce & Famished'--> this is going to be the supper club blog. I've created a post that invites you to leave your name, if you would like to be a member. The only catch? You must be willing to cook*
If you think you can handle that, by all means GET TO CLICKIN', LADIES!
Please respond on Fierce & Famished by Tuesday, Feb. 8th. Prompt input is appreciated (and preferred)!

raffle drawings
2/6/11 - Make sure you bring cash if you are interested, just in case!
I had this crazy thought. That we as members, when we are on our own book will have a gift to raffle off at the book club meeting. The raffle will cost between $1-$2. The money will go towards the book club fund and a winner will be drawn. This isn't a have to and not all members have to contribute. Just another random idea. Let me know what you think.

Reflection on Serial Killers Club
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.
