The Goose Girl

This month we chose The Goose Girl by Shannon Hale. We will meet on Thursday, July 9, 2009 at 8:00 p.m. at Alicia Gray's home. This is a great book based on a fairy tale and is easy reading.

Come with suggestions for future book club selections--books you've read and would like to discuss, or books that are on your "to read" list. Hope to see you all there!

June Book Club

Thank you to everyone who came to the book club this month. We had a great discussion!

We will meet again on June 4th at 8:30 p.m. at Alicia Gray's home again.

We will be reading The Book Thief by Markus Zusak.

Book Club is starting up again!

We're going to be starting the Book Club again. (Sorry nothing happened with the previous selection.)

Our new book will be The Invisible Wall by Harry Bernstein. We'll be meeting on Thursday, May 7th at the Gray's home (2002 W. 7800 S.), at 8:30 p.m.

If you need to borrow a copy, contact Alicia or Janette M. Hope to see you there!

January's book selection

We had 4 whole votes! (That must mean that at least 3 people other than me read this!) Since we had a tie, we'll choose both books. You can read either one or both (since we have till January). The Worthing Chronicle by Orson Scott Card and/or Molakai by Alan Brennert.

Also, if anyone comes across a book that you'd like to see as a reading selection here, please post it!

Vote for which book you want!

There's a poll on the left...vote for which book you'd like to read for our January meeting. The poll closes on November 20th at midnight, so put your vote in before then!

New Book Suggestions...

Okay, so I guess the last book club kinda bombed. I was out of town, unfortunately, so I apologize for that. A Train to Potevka is an excellent book and an easy read, for those who might still be interrested in reading it. It's also perfect for this time of year.

So, moving on...we need a new book suggestion. I heard that Kristanne had a couple--feel free to post them, and hopefully we can get input and read something that everyone is interested in.

One that I have not read (so I can't vouch for the content), but is on my "to-read-list" is One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

Another one that I just very recently (today) finished is The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, but it does have swear words. (Short synopsis: it's about a foster girl growing up in Germany during WWII.)

Other suggestions that I can think of:

The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck
Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe

(Leave suggestions here, in the comments.)
