November Holiday Dinner Party

November is fast approaching and we now know where it will be held! :) Michelle has graciously offered to host our holiday party this year in her new home. It will be on November 13th at 6:30 pm. Michelle is providing a potato bar for the main portion of the dinner, so we need people to sign up for drinks, desserts or salad. Please comment or email Angela or Jen with what you would be willing to bring.

We will also be doing our traditional book exchange. Bring a book you like, doesn't have to be new or one that you want to read for book club, just a book you like. I'm excited for this and hope to see you all there!

October Open Forum Books

We had a wonderful time at the last book club! Thanks for everyone coming and participating. Here's a list of the books that were discussed. I've starred & bolded the one that we will be reading in January.

Annette loved The Memory Keepers Daughter by Kim Edwards
she didn't like the House of Night series by P.C. Cast & Kristin Cast

Angela liked Against Medical Advice by James Patterson & Hal Friedman
she didn't like the first book in The Spiderwick Chronicals and others suggested that they all need to be read to get the whole story.

Margaret loved Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston
she didn't love The Crowning Glory of Calla Lily Ponder by Rebecca Wells

Tracy liked *****The Power of a Positive Mom ***** by Carol Ladd which we will be reading for January

Sheri didn't like Call of the Wild by Jack London
Shoot! I forgot to note which one she liked, sorry.

FRIDAY

Just a reminder that book club is THIS Friday, 7:30 pm at Margaret's house. We'll be having an open forum with a possible movie after. The movie Julie & Julia hasn't reached the dollar theater yet, so we can go to that or find a dollar movie, I'm sure we can decide at the meeting. Hope to see you all there!
