Schedule Update

Thanks so much for hosting last night Leslie. I thought we had a great discussion and an awesome turnout.

I just wanted to update the schedule so that we are all clear through the end of the year. As we discussed last night, we are going to make December a book club party/planning session for the new year so be thinking of what selections you would like to make. Shea is going to take January, so we will plan from February on. Does everyone like having a chance to choose the book/lead the discussion/ and host? If everyone takes a turn, then it should only come around once a year, if that.

Can't wait for next month! I really enojoyed Brooke's selection.

A New Earth

Hey girls it's almost that time again! I hope you all have started A New Earth! I love it. I know it's by all means not one the funnest reads, it's kind of a hard one, but I feel that this is one of those books that needs to be given some good thought! After all Oprah loves it!!!! anyways I wanted to put out a reminder that it will be at my house(Les Doman) sept.11th At 7:00. Please e-mail me for directions ldasherduke@hotmail.com. Thanks and hope to see everyone soon! P.s. I think if you go onto Oprah.com it has some discussions on this book!

Let's Get Organized.

Here is the deal:

We thought it would be fun to have a journal or sorts for our book club. We wanted to make it accessible, fun and easy.

It is basically all things book club. We can post ideas about meetings and books. We will all have access to contribute to this blog (but we will also privatize it) so that when it is your turn to host, you can post pictures, directions to the meeting site, or whatever.

It will be fun to track our history this way!
