fall housekeeping

We have 2 books remaining for the year: Love in the Time of Cholera and The Middle Place. Erin and Katie have agreed to be hostesses (and I think Erin is going to do September) for us.

This is the first call for suggestions for next year. I already have 2! So be thinking about what you would like to read in 2010.

Loved this book!

just finished this book, "A Thousand Splendid Suns" by Khaled Hosseini. It was absolutely superb and a very moving story of hope, love, despair, survival, and forgiveness. Just wanted to recommend to you :)

Schedule change

Instead of reading Edgar Sawtelle in October, we decided last night to read "The Middle Place"  by Kelly Corrigan.  It has received great reviews as a fantastic story of how important womens' friendships are.

Thanks again to Christa for organizing last night.  We were so fortunate that it was 'wine wednesday'.  :)

Seriously, I had a wonderful time, and I am so grateful to you all for your friendship and laughter.   ~kris

Hi Everyone!
It should be a great turnout at Carrabbas, tonight, at 7Pm.
Peggy, Jen, Liz, Carrie, Kris, Katie S., Katie G., and myself are confirmed "yes's" and Erin is going to try to meet us there due to Bryant's game at 6.
Look forward to seeing all of you!
I'll put the reservation under my name!

I cheated, but I'm glad....

Hey girls!
Hope everyone had a wonderful St. Patty's. At the last minute, I looked at my kids faces and told them yes we could go to the parade. (even though Derrick had to work) I have to say, we had a great time...the weather was awesome too!
Well, getting back to bookclub...when Derrick was on call the other night I ordered 'The Duchess' starring Kiera Knightley and Ray Fines. I looooved it! But, I'm a sucker for period pieces. I watched the movie before reading the book! A lot of issues to discuss on this one. Can't wait.
Peace out

good book i just read

I just finished this: The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. It was a very moving book set in WW2 Germany and narrated by Death. But it primarily focuses on a young girl and her foster family. I really enjoyed it and thought I would recommend it to you all.
