Book for February
February's book club night is quickly approaching. It will be on Thursday, February 5th at 7:30 pm at Margaret's house. We will be discussing Papa Married a Mormon by John D. Fitzgerald. Jessica has a book to lend and Angela will have one again in another week when Jen is done with it. Contact them if you want to read it.
Last month we had a different, yet interesting and fun book club. We each brought a book we liked and a book we didn’t like. We shared these with the group and described why we did or didn’t like them. It turned out to be quite a lively discussion. We each felt that we had found books that we would like to read and/or avoid in the future. I think everyone felt that we would like to do this again. Maybe we could do this twice a year? What do you all think?
Anyway, from this forum we chose a book to read for March. It is a book that Traci brought called Puddin’head Wilson by Mark Twain
Here is a list of all the books people brought if you are interested:
Annette – like – The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett
- dislike – World Without End by Ken Follett
Mindy – like – Percy Jackson & the Olympians series by Rick Riordan

Book Club This Thursday
Book Club is this Thursday January 8th, 7:30 at Sheri Lee's house.
We will be having an Open Forum night
This is where you each bring one book you have read that you liked and one book you have read that you didn't like (or didn't like as much) and tell everyone why you liked or didn't like the books. It should make for an interesting discussion and can give good ideas for books to read or avoid. Kind of like a submission, but with only 2 books per person.
If there is time after our discussion we will play games. Hope to see you all there.
Remember the book for next month is Papa Married a Mormon.
