Hold the phone the book has been changed...

Hopefully you didn't buy the book previously listed,and if you did then Misty will gladly pay you for it. (just kidding!) If you did hold on to it and she can suggest it again when it's her turn again as it might actually be available by then. She sent an email and a message on FB but since this is the Official blog of our little but pretty neat book club it needed it's official display on our site. Patting myself on the back as we speak for getting a background with books on it ;) So the new book is HELL HOUSE by Richard Matheson. It's a horror novel is you can't tell my the title. This opens up a whole new genre to our club and now I think we can move on to other genres, like erotica, just kidding again but in that kinda of mad way that I have to read a horror novel. (I'm really teasing Misty but I swear if this book freaks me out you are so going to hear about it for a while)

Have fun reading this book and once Misty lets us know the date and place of the meeting we'll get it out to you. It's probably going to be somewhere like the cemetery or the Radison Hotel Either way I'm sure it will be a chilling discussion.

Might want to get this sooner than later...

Misty picked the newest book for us to read which is called Meeks http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7087837-meeks She sent an FB message earlier last week so you might have already seen it but wanted to make sure to add it here. From what I am hearing you probably will have to order it online but good news is that it is very cheap. Here is another description of it for you to read, seems to be interesting. http://www.hipsterbookclub.com/reviews/copy/0810/meeks_julia_holmes.html

An evite will tell you the time and the place. Hopefully we can meet end of Sept/very early Oct. Can you believe Sept is already here? Crazy!!!

The next book

Ok sorry this has taken so long. Since there were only an few of us at the last meeting it was uncertain who was going to pick the next book. To make a long story short I'm picking it just so we can get it read. BTW if Facebook would stop changing it format every other day then we would have had the title sooner so sorry about this. OK the next book is the Time Traveler's Wife which you can find here http://www.amazon.com/Time-Travelers-Wife-Audrey-Niffenegger/dp/015602943X/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1268593109&sr=8-2 and can buy new for $9.00 or so at Costco now and I'm sure used at other places. I'll let you know about meeting but most likely it will be middle of April to end so we can pass tax season for Lanette. If you know when you'll be in town or won't try to let me know so we can have a good turnout. ps If you are super busy and can't read the book try to watch the movie. It's not quite the same but they do an ok job and will be able to follow with the discussion.

A small Christmas read

The December book choice is a little different that we have had in the past. I'm offering one of two books for you to read. You can either buy the book titled A Christmas Story by Jean Shepard which is the basis of the movie classic by the same name, or you can read chapters from In God We Trust, all others pay cash. By Jean Shepard which was the book of short stories that the began the Christmas Story. You can find the first book at Barnes and Noble and the other online at various places buy at Half.com for great prices. Either way since this is a short period of time I know many won't get through the book but unless you live under a rock you probably have seen the movie so we can have a discussion either way. I'm going for the second choice because I think the additional stories will be a great read.

Thanks and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Better late than never.

This should have been posted over a month ago. Very sorry about that:( I wasn't feeling to well and unfortunately this post never got done but I had to add it so we will be able to look back and remember the book Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons. I feel pretty bad about this book actually. Most of us in our club didn't read it all and it wasn't to fair to Misty who picked the book. So if we can lets all try to read it and discuss it at the next meeting if we can. I mean it might cut into the time that some of us talk about Twilight but we'll have to make that sacrifice. (just kidding Misty) Anyway lets see if we can give her book another try and the respect it's due.
Thanks ladies!
