Book is Picked

Sorry, forgot to put up the results of the poll. By near unanimous vote, it looks like we will be reading Fablehaven this month. I have a copy to share and I'm sure the library has it. Hope to see you all there!!

Date Time and Place

I thought we could meet September 24th @ 7:00 at my house.

I would like to know who is attending, let me know in comments!

If you have any questions, you can leave them in the comments section or email me at latermom (at) gmail (dot) com.

Welcome

I hope there are more people interested in reading and talking about what they read. Since this would be the 1st month, I thought I would list some easy reads (that would still be fun to talk about). Here is what I came up with:

  • Fablehaven by Brandon Mull~ This is a children's fantasy book, but I found it to be cute and clever.
  • Cold Sassy Tree by Olive Ann Burns~ A simple memoir type story. I read it in high school.
  • Treason by Orson Scott Card~ One of his first books, this is a definite sci-fi/fantasy type book. That man's mind is fascinating and bizarre.
  • The Turn of the Screw by Henry James~ A chilling short story.

Since everyone will be busy with end of summer/beginning of school year activities, I tried to pick books that wouldn't take long to read but still could be discussed. Just vote on the poll in the sidebar within the next week on which one you would most like to read. That way we can take sometime to set up how we'd like the book club to work: how to pick the book, rules for children coming, where and when to have meetings, refreshments, etc.
