"I have sometimes dreamt that when the Day of Judgment

dawns-the Almighty will turn to Peter and will say when he sees us coming with

our books under our arms, 'Look, these need no reward. We have nothing to give

them here. They have loved reading.'" -Virginia Woolf

January Book

Thanks, Sandy for a fun evening! And welcome, Kylie, to bookclub. You added much to the discussion and we're glad you're here!

This month we are reading two books. The first is a retelling of a fairytale, Princess of the Midnight Ball by Jessica Day George.

The second looks like a quick and entertaining read, Gossamer, by Lois Lowry.
Due to Sandy's new "hobby" as the RS President in her ward, we are changing our meeting time to the first Thursday of the month. If this is not good for any of you, please speak up! We can certainly look at other days and other weeks. But as of now (pending approval by Kaylene) we will meet at her home on Thursday, Feb. 3rd.

Also, one last item: As we often love each other's treats and ask for recipes, we've decided to post recipes, from our discussions, on our blog. I'm still working on this, but watch for a recipe link on the right side of the page, soon!

*UPDATE* The link to the recipe blog is on the right, titled "Reading & Recipes".

December Book

This month we are reading The Silence of God by Gale Sears.
Assuming that we all survive finals and Christmas, we will meet to discuss this book on Wednesday, January 5th at Sandy's home.

November Book

The book for this month is The Giver by Lois Lowry. It is a Newbery winner about a Utopian society. I have one copy (Hyrum Library's copy) that will soon be available and Chris said that she may be able to get another copy or two from Larry. We will meet on Wednesday, Dec. 1st at 8pm at my (Nancy's) house.If you find yourself wanting more after reading this book, I also recommend Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. Same idea, more grown-up. I have a copy of this as well.

It was suggested at the last book club that maybe the first Thursday would be preferable for our discussion. If you have an opinion on this (yes/no/who cares) please share it and we can decide whether to change or stay on Wednesdays.

October Book

So sorry that I am a little late posting these titles. Hopefully the grapevine has covered for me and you're already enjoying the books. Here are the books that you can choose between or read both for this months discussion.

PLEASE NOTE: Bookclub will be held on Thursday again this month, so change your calendars and plan on attending Nov. 4th at 8pm at Kris Berrett's home. (And don't forget that she moved--the Mercado's may enjoy a visit but you'll miss out on a great discussion.)
