Hi, everyone! Just a little update...we had a great book club last night at Karen's - the Southern food (especially the caramel cake!) was yummy and everyone really liked the book! Thanks, Karen!

Next month will be at my house on Tuesday February 23 at 8...so the little monsters are in their beds! I will try to step up to Karen's high standards and provide some yummy Greek fare for our enjoyment! Can't wait to see everyone...enjoy this great book!

Hey, chicas! I just started City of Dreams and I am LOVING IT! It has a description of a removal of a kidney stone sans anesthesia in the first 50 pages...very cool!!! Get reading and let me know how you like it!

The Shack Discussion

Dear God:

So it should be noted: Amanda C will host the next lively discussion Feb. 19th. at 8 PM The chosen book is: City of Dreams. Amen.

For those of you who have the luxury of reading ahead....I CAN NOT HELP YOU! Ask Caroline A. (who volunteered for March without a recommendation), ask Lisa W. (who volunteered for April without a recommendation) and Beth P who has May 22 (with no recommendation). June is open, but I have July (with no recommendation! lol)

January Book Club Date Set

As she has been able to squeeze in the time, (while sacrificing listening to her new Kid Rock CD's to do so!) Sharon G. has volunteered her home for Jan. Book Club. The date will be Thurs. Jan. 22nd. Sharon is listening to the book on CD and says she is suffering through it. I am three quarters done with the book and I am finding it interesting but having to read paragraphs over and over and sometimes still just not getting it as fast as Mack does. Still, looking forward to our discussion. Amanda, can you please forward this post to all the book club members, the blog limits me to ten automatic forwards. Keep in mind ladies, if you did not receive this directly from me then you can sign up on the blog for automatic notice of new posts! Thank you so much and if you have questions about how to log on please don't hesitate to call! Toni K

WOWZA Twilight is the bomb!

Lori dropped off Twilight to me Sunday night. I will have no problem being done by Thursday club! I am feeling sooo lusty! See Tina, you don't have to have lascivious description to feel the tension..... whoa....to be 17 again, no, I don't want to be 17 - I want to be lusty again!

New book picks for Dec and Jan

There is an unofficial book choice for December ladies! Though many of us have busy social schedules that make planning a book club date, let alone reading a novel, in December difficult, others of us still want nothing more than to meet with our fellow book club friends, soooo....if you can fit it in, Dec 11 is the date for an unofficial discussion of the the book Twilight by Stephanie Meyer as well as an ornament exchange. $10 is the BCSRP! (That's Book Club Suggested Retail Price for those not in retail sales) To be held at BF's house.
For January, The Shack by William Young has been chosen and is, from all I have heard, likely to elicit some intense conversation. I can hardly wait to get into either of them! I ordered both online tonight through Half.com

FYI: I have made a comment about tonights discussion on The Time Traveler's Wife under the post of the same name

Hello ladies! Let's give this a try!

I thought this might be a good way to see how others in the group were progressing with our novels. It would be a place to post opinions and synopsis' of our group discussions too. We'll see! Toni
