Questions

We've heard from a few people that they won't be able to come to book club next week, but we haven't heard if anyone is planning on coming. So if you are planning on coming, please RSVP by comment, email or call Angela/Jen.

If we don't have enough people that can come we are considering changing the date or the location. If this would make it easier for you to come please RSVP by comment, email or calling Angela/Jen. Thanks.

March Book Club

March 5th is coming quickly and will be the date of our next book club. We will be doing it at 7:30 pm at Jen's new house which she wants to show everyone. We'll be car pooling to save gas since Jen's house is near Herriman and takes 30-40 mins to get there.

The book we will be discussing is Pudd'nhead Wilson by Mark Twain.

In April we will be doing another open forum. Everyone enjoyed it so much that it has been decided that we will do this every three months. Be prepared to bring a book you like and a book you didn't like to the book club in April.

Available

Jessica's book is also available to anyone who hasn't read "Papa married a mormon"!

Angela's book is available again!

First come first served! :) Come and get it!

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

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.
