September Book

We have two books for September. They are:
The Devil's Paintbox by Victoria McKernan and Boys Without Names by Kashmira Sheth.

There are copies of these books floating around so shout out if you're ready to start one of them. Bookclub will be held on Wednesday, October 6th at Chris's house. See you then!

August Book

Thanks for a fun evening, Sandy. LOVE THE HOUSE!!! (And the zucchini bread!) Our next discussion will be September 1st at 8pm at Kaylene's home. The book is Warriors Don't Cry by Melba Patillo Beals. Also, I've updated the host schedule through the end of the year. Check to make sure this works for you and let me know if anything needs to be changed. (i.e. Allyson, would January work better for you?) Enjoy the last few weeks of summer!

July Book

This month we have two books to enjoy:
English Trifle by Josi Kilpack

and
Sugar Queen by Sarah Addison Allen

We will discuss these books on Wednesday, August 4th at 8pm at Sandy's NEW house! Also, I have updated the hostess schedule for the rest of 2010. If you need to change anything or trade with anyone, let me know, sooner rather than later please!

And one last item of interest: I noticed in the Cache Magazine this week an article promoting a book called Outcasts United by Warren St. John.

I mention it because the article says that Luma Mufleh, the woman that the book is based on, is giving a lecture at USU on Saturday, August 28th at 9:30am, in the Kent Concert Hall. If this interests you, maybe some of us could read the book and then attend the lecture together.

June Book

Thanks, Allyson, for a fun evening, delicious brownies, and an enlightening book! For the rest of my life, when I do something that I'm not proud of, I can now say, "At least I'm not Rose Mary Walls!"

This month we are reading a novel about George and Martha Washington called, Mount Vernon Love Story, by Mary Higgins Clark. We will meet at 8pm on July 7th at Nancy's home to discuss this book and other matters of import. See you then!

May Book

Great book, Kris! And yummy treats--thanks, again! This month we are reading The Glass Castle: A Memoir by Jeannette Walls. Our discussion will be held at 8pm on June 2nd at Allyson's house. So get reading, you Saumenschen!! (Sorry, I couldn't resist!) : ) Love you all!

April Book

Are all of your stomach muscles sore this morning from laughing? Thanks for a great evening! Kris will host the next discussion on May 5th at 8pm at her home. The official book is The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. We have two copies floating around, so shout out if you need it. We also have an unofficial title this month, if you're feeling ambitious, called Same Kind of Different as Me. Looking forward to next month already! Happy reading and congrats again to Allyson--you rock!!

March book

We had a very enjoyable evening at Kaylene's last night. Thank you for a great book and a great discussion! Our next book is Chains by Laurie Halse Anderson. Mark your calendars now for April 7th at 8pm at Chris Jeppesen's home.
