April Meeting

Our April Book Club meeting will be at Oliver's on Tuesday, April 21st. We will be discussing Adam by Ted Dekker. I am looking forward to hanging out with everyone and hearing your thoughts on the book. I have not read it yet, so I guess I better put the Sookie books down and get started!!

I saw the book on Amazon for $11. Paperback at Books-A-Million is $10.86.

Have a great week and I will see you on Tuesday!

March 21st Meeting

Our next book selection is Twilight by Stephanie Meyer. We decided to stay with the vampire theme and coordinate the reading of this book with the release of the Twilight Movie. We will meet at Melanie Lyon's house on the release day to watch the movie, all of the extras, and plot and plan for how we think the director will depict the next Stephanie Meyer novel.

Our meeting at Janna's house last month was great! Janna had a wonderful homemade soup for us and delicious strawberry short cake. We had a good discussion about Dead until Dark. Several people actually read the entire series during the month. There were lots of good things said about the book! As a whole, we all enjoyed it.

Here is some info about our next meeting:

Tomorrow!

Just a reminder that we are meeting tomorrow night to discuss Dead Until Dawn! I am looking forward to everyone's thoughts!

We will meet at Janna's house at 6:00. Can't wait to see you gals!

February Meeting!

We had a lively Book Club meeting last night at Kristin's house. She cooked a wonderful dinner that was delectable! I had a really nice time! I don't think there is a better way to spend a Tuesday night.

Our February meeting will be on Tuesday, February 24th at 6:00 at Janna's house. We will be reading Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris. This is the book that the HBO vampire series True Blood is based. I found it on Amazon.com for $7.99. Amazon also sells the Sookie Stackhouse Box Set of 7 books in the series for $31.88.

Also, Melanie mentioned that she wants to have a Twlight DVD Release Party. So put Saturday, March 21st on your calendar. More vampire fun!

One more exciting announcement, Stacey told me that Janet Peery, author of The River Beyond the World and What the Thunder Said will be reading from her writing on January 22nd at 8 PM at the Dixon Center on the Lee campus. Let me know if anyone is interested in attending.

Next week

Hey everyone! I'm really excited about everyone coming over next Tuesday. I was planning on doing lobster ravioli with shrimp, salad, and dessert. Does anyone NOT eat seafood? If so, I can totally make something else! Hope everyone has enjoyed the book! See you next Tuesday.

January Meeting and Book Selection

Melanie, Kristen, and I met last night at the Bistro for Book Club. We had a lively conversation! Although, we didn't talk about the book much. It was still nice to get to catch up.

We decided that our next meeting will be on Tuesday, January 13th at Kristen's apartment. She lives in Chattanooga, right off of Gunbarrel Road. We will plan on getting started at 6 that night.

The book we chose is The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. I found it on Amazon for $11.16. Books-A-Million.com has it for $12.09/$10.88 for members. It could probably be found at McKay's in Chattanooga, too.

Next Book Club Meeting!

Hey everyone! Sorry it has been so long since our last update! Everyone's schedules have gotten really crazy. We are meeting on Tuesday, December 2nd at 7:00. We will be discussing Long Way Down.

Please let me know where you want to meet:

Bald Headed Bistro
My house
Other?

I have been a slacker and still haven't started it yet! I am hoping that I can dedicate some time to the book during the Thanksgiving Break. :)

Updated Meeting Info!

It looks like Book Club is finally coming together! Let's get together this Thursday evening, Oct 16th at 7:00 at my house. I will have light snacks and Andrea is bringing some white wine! Yum!

We will discuss the book and then talk about what we want from our book club. We will also go ahead and choose the date for our next meeting (as well as our next book). Afterwards, if anyone wants to stay later and watch The Office or other Thursday night shows, you are welcome to stay!

Please bring some ideas of books you want to read. Either books you would recommend to us that you enjoyed reading or a book that you want to read that you haven't had a chance to yet.

I look forward to seeing all of you!

And, if you haven't had a chance to read the book, that is ok. We still want you to be there!

Our First Meeting!

Our first meeting is scheduled for tomorrow, October 7th. A couple of people won't be in town tomorrow. What is the consensus of moving our first meeting so more people will be there?

Also, we haven't decided on time and location. Any ideas/suggestions?

Please respond today! I am sorry about this being such late notice!

What are you reading right now?

I have to admit, I usually am in the middle of about 4 books at a time. I don't know how I do it but it happens. Usually, I start out reading a book and it will be good. Then somehow I end up with a stack of books on my nightstand.

The one I am most ashamed of is one of the books in the Outlander series. I so love those books. But I got stuck in the middle of the second book for about a year. Then I picked it back up and finished it. I flew through it and book #3. Now I have been stuck on book #4 for about 2 years. Maybe it is time for me to pick it back up.

Anyway, here are the books that I a reading right now:

The Key to Rebecca by Ken Follet
New Moon by Stephanie Meyer
Captains and Kings by Taylor Caldwell

Please post the books you are reading on our Book Club website in the "Comments" section!
