Hmmm. Seems I am a little lax in updating the blog.
This month's book will be Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen.
The meeting is at my house (see Evite for directions) 645-900. Please RSVP if you can.
November and December will be combined into our annual holiday pot luck/book exchange sometime in early December. Details to follow. We will also be off-handedly discussing Dicken's A Christmas Carol.
That's all for now!

June Meeting
June Bookclub will be Tuesday June 23rd from 645-900.
We are reading The Night Trilogy by Elie Wiesel.
We will be focusing the discussion on the "Night" section but will branch into "Dawn" and "Day" as time allows. I can say that it took me 2 evenings to read "Night" and that was only because I tried to catch my house on fire and had to stop. The material is captivating and very quick. The entire trilogy is a little more that 300 pages...but Night is 120.
I think this will be a great discussion!
Micheal will be hosting, email directions to follow soon. Dana will be facilitating this month's discussion.
July's book will be The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood.
