We had a great time this month at book club. Since there was rain, we weren't able to go to Red Butte Gardens. Fortunately Sheri's tickets are still good and we will reschedule that for another activity.

We had a great discussion of many books. Several of us had read The Forest of Hands and Teeth already and we spent a few minutes discussing that. It was then decided that we didn't want to discuss it next month and then began the process of choosing another book.

Here are the submissions for Sept in no particular order because I can't remember who brought what.

The Personal History of Rachel DuPree by Ann Weisgarber

Tiger Saga by Colleen Houck

The Color Code by Taylor Hartman

The Four Agreements by Miguel Ruiz

The Hourglass Door series by Lisa Mangum

Secrets by Blaine Yorgason

Driven by Larry H. Miller

Let's Fix the Kids by James J Jones

Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand

The Bean Trees by Barbara Kingsolver

We chose Unbroken to read for October, but after looking for it at the library and finding a REALLY long waiting list, we opted to read The Bean Trees since it is more readily available.

You can find more descriptions of these books by clicking on the shelves to the right or looking them up on Goodreads (Annette has them all on her shelf there too).

After our forum, we went to see the movie The Help. Since we had previously read the book for book club it seemed appropriate to see the movie. There was a consensus that the movie was very well done and we all liked it. Thanks for everyone coming and participating in our fun book club event.

Our next book club will be October 21st at Jen's house in Herriman. Meet at Annette's house at 7:00 pm to carpool. Hope to see you all then!
