Totally Surprised

Hi Fancy Book club Members!!!

Is anyone else blogging? I'm new to the blog scene myself, but I like it!!!! So, I FINALLY started the book this past weekend, and to my absolute amazement, I couldn't put it down, read the first 7 chapters pronto stat. I would have NEVER picked this book, so here's to trying new things, that are not necessarily of interest at the time!

Going to read a little now, hope you guys are jumping on the train.
Can't wait to see you guys!

Sweetie Pie

Laurel - That was so very sweet of you to make the We Heart Kat Post-It! Very creative. This is my first time blogging...it took me about ten minutes to figure out how to post something! Hope everyone is doing well!

Tally

I know the notebook tally is off. (and that I should have something better to do on a Saturday night.) But things being the way they are...we'll have to settle for this, for now.

Just watched Bucket List - feeling a little Jack Nicholson. Wanna make a list?

Random - I know. I am. ;)

Open Invitations

Members of Tampa Bay Bookies: You should have gotten an email inviting you to be an author. This means that you can post to the blog as well. So please select yes! This way you can post anything. Photos, announcements, questions. You get the jist.

How's the reading coming along? Are we enjoying the book? I am about half-way (not quite) through and find myself suprised to be enjoying the book. If I look at it with an English teacher's eye I find TONS of vocabulary words.

Kit Kat

Our last meeting - our first - was missing a member...and she read the book! Due to a miscommunication - oops! - Kat did not make it to the Barbara Wawa/ Kenyon Birthday Bash. So, I would like to take this opportunity to formally invite Kat to our next book club.

Also, I will be posting a tally list of the points. Alisha came up with a fabulous motivational plan to keep (get) us reading. Read the book, earn five points for the meeting. Too busy to read? Come anyway. Put a buck in the pot. When we get to book club #12, whoever has the most points - wins the pot! Who knows it may be $50, $60, $70.

Remember it is not too late to start reading. If you have not yet gotten the book, here is your assignment: By Friday, you are to have gone out and purchased the book. Or go to the library and check it out. If you are like me, you may want to get the book on CD so when you are in the car, the story can play out while you sit in rush hour traffic.

Name of the book: Those Who Save Us by Jenna Blum

Muah!

Book Two: Those Who Save Us by Jenna Blum

Meeting number two's book choice was up to Laurel to decide. For an indecisive Libra, this was not an easy task, but it is done.

Book #2: Those Who Save Us by Jenna Blum

The reasoning behind the choice of the month: "I always judge a book by its cover and who doesn't need to be saved." Enough said right?

Next meeting is July 18th - that's a Thursday - location to be announced.

Happy Reading!

Book One: Audition by Barbara Walters

Our first official meeting was at Denise's. Some of us read the book, some of us listened to it, some of us got part way through it, and some of us didn't quite get started. More importantly, we got together. Kenyon's birthday was celebrated, wedding plans were discussed, and we got to put a face to the story.
