July 2010-Dec 2010

Ok Ladies,

Here is the book and the house for the next six months.

July 2010- Eclipse (the movie) and dinner, Priscilla to coordinate. Book: "The Art of Running in the Rain"

Aug 2010- Kelly's house, Book: "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo."

Sept 2010-Mindy's house, Book: "The Joy of Simple Living." There is more than one book with the title, we are looking for Jeff Davidson's book.

Oct 2010- Priscilla's house, Book: "Davita's Harp."

Nov 2010- Aimee's house, Book: "The Help."

Dec 2010- Brandie's house, Book: "Wishin and Hopin" by Wally Lamb. Its a short one and Kel Kel has promised that it will be an easy read for such a busy month.

Yea! What would I do without book club? You girls are awesome!

Change for May

Glory will be hosting book club in May.

The book is actually a short series of stories called The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. I love a good mystery. Hopefully Glory will be somewhat settled before book club arrives or we may have a unpacking party before book club.

Her new house is right across the street from Marilee's house. See you all there.

Jan - June 2010 plus comments

January- P to the illa, Ladies #1 detective agency. Love this book. The character kind of reminds me of a smarter version of Amelia Bedilia.

February- Jamie, The Road. Another great book but much more somber. You might need a box of Kleenex handy.

March-Jeanette, Firefly Lane. Great friend story. Seems like a long book but it is really quite a fast read.

April- Chris, The Benedict Society. Sorry can't comment, haven't read this one. Chris is on the second one though and she says their great.

May- Becky, The Hobbit. I know this is a classic and a great book. Not really my style of reading so I can't tell you much about it. Although I think it is a prequel to Lord of the Rings (you probably already knew that)

June- Laura, Hunger Games. Best book on the list (in my humble opinion). I have already read the first two and can't wait for the last book to come out. Maybe next Christmas this will be in movie theaters and we can annoy more people with our quit wits, fun humor, and totally necessary comments.

If you want to make changes to the list, book or host, get a hold of Kelly. She is the VIP.

Over and out

Change for August

Monica and Jen have traded hosting bookclub....Jen will be in August and Monica in December.
Thanks Natasha for an awesome night! We all laughed about our hideous school pictures from our awkward teenage years and enjoyed Tash's "ADD" layout of food! Good times, good times!
For Jen's bookclub in August try and dig up YOUR craziest school picture or whatever to share with everyone so that we may laugh ourselves into oblivion.

Oh! And the van tour of Mt.Green was pretty sweet with a dozen women and 3 babies in tow!

Book covers

Well I was going to post the new book covers in the widget but I can't remember my password. Ugh, pregnant mushy brain working in full force. I am sure it will come to me, or I will find where I wrote it down eventually. Thanks for being patient girls!

Old read for you...New for me

Been a while since anyone posted. I thought I would let you know I read one of your past book club books, Water For Elephants. Little racy but what a good read. I finished it quick.

Is it time to pick out new books yet? I need some more reads now that summer is here and school is over!
