October Book

Everyone. . .sorry I couldn't make it tonight!  My new Relief Society had a big emergency preparedness evening tonight, and then I had a sick boy, so I couldn't even come late.  Sarah recommended Ella Minnow Pea to me a few years ago, and I absolutely loved it.  I'm bummed I couldn't join in your conversation tonight.  Anyway, I hope you all enjoy reading In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto by Michael Pollan this month.  I thought it would be fun to read a non-fiction book to mix things up, and with all the great cooks, gardeners, and food-lovers in the ward, this should be an interesting one to discuss!  If you want to check out Michael Pollan's website, he's got a few other great food reads that you can add to your book lists (The Omnivore's Dilemma is really good, too):  http://michaelpollan.com/books/in-defense-of-food/  I'll let Sarah know when the books are ready for pickup at West Jordan Library, and I'll see you at my home (1353 W. Hawksbill Dr.) on Tuesday, October 4!

Septem

This is totally after the fact, but apperently I forgot to post on the blog what our September book was.

Ella Minnow Pea  by Mark Dunn

  Sorry.

I'm not sure anyone looks at this anyway.

August Book

Hi Everyone,


We were small in numbers today, but still had a really good visit.

Our next book will be:
The Help by Kathryn Stockett

Because this is a very popular book and has a lot of holds on it (it's also kind of big), we have decided to skip the July meeting and discuss this book in August. I have placed a book club hold at the West Jordan Library and they should start showing up in the next couple of weeks, but feel free to put your own hold on a copy or borrow etc. It is well worth reading.

We will meet August 2 7:30 pm at Monica Brown's home.

May/June book

Now that we meet at the first of the month I never know if I should call the book the June book since our meeting will be in June or the May book since we'll most likely be reading it in May. Whatever.




Our new book is:



The Scarlett Letter
by Nathaniel Hawthorne

Because of some ward conflicts our June meeting is going to be the first Thursday instead of the first Tuesday. We will meet June 2, 7:30 pm at Billie Turner's home. Hope to see you there!

Hey!

Book Club tonight at Alena's!  Hope to see you there.  Email me if you need more info.

April Book

Hey Ladies,


I apologize for the delay in getting the new book out to everyone. I had forgotten whose turn it was so I never reminded anyone and we showed up to book club without a new book! I'll do better.

Alena stepped up and picked one for us, but it took her a few day since she has a lot of family stuff going on right now. No worries, we now have it!

The book is:

Time Enough For Drums

By Ann Rinaldi

Alena called the library and they should be getting 8-9 books on hold within the next week. She said it is a fairly quick/light read so we may be able to pass it around the neighborhood if we need to, but if you have access to another copy that might be good.

We will meet Tuesday April 5th 7:30 pm at Alena's house. When time get's closer I will email directions and we could probably carpool again.

I always look forward to time spent with you all!

March Book

So much fun tonight! I'm so grateful that I have book club. :)


JuVene picked our next book. It is:

The Peacegiver: How Christ offers to heal our hearts and homes

by James L Farrell

She will call the library tomorrow to put some on hold.

We will meet at JuVene's home Tuesday March 1 at 7:30 pm to discuss this book.

Febuary Book

Hey All!

We have a new book. Ilene has chosen:

The Wednesday Letters
by Jason F. Wright


She says there should be 12 copies at the West Jordan Library by Thursday or Friday. We are switching it up starting in February and meeting the first Tuesday of the month so we will meet:

February 1 7:30 pm at my house again, unless I find out otherwise.

I really enjoy the time spent visiting and discussing books and thoughts on life in general. I hope you do too.

Sarah

December Choice

Since I've let things get away from me the last few months, I haven't been as on top of whose picking the next book as I should. Because of that I had to pick a book last minute the day before book club. I decided to pick a book I've always wanted to read and haven't made the time for:

Believing Christ

I hope you'll join me in reading this, and be ready to discuss January 11.

Just as an FYI our meeting night will change to the first tuesday of the month starting in February.

We had a small number tonight, but a very enjoyable discussion. Thanks for hosting Robin, we will really miss you!

Clair Gee has some copies that Heather was able to borrow from her school if you want to get one. She will bring them to church or you can contact her. Monette mentioned that another book group has put them on hold at the library, just fyi. We will meet on December 14th at Clair Gee's home. Mark your calandars!

We had a fabulous time at book club this week. If you missed it, we missed you. We had a few people there who hadn't read the book and were just there for socializing and that was just great!

Our next book is: The Hero and the Crown by Robin McKinley

We will be meeting on August 10th, 7:30 pm at Alena's home out near the E Center. She will email me directions and I'll make sure they get out before the next meeting. We could meet up at the church and carpool if that is easier for some people.
