January Book

I heard that everyone had a great and LATE night at Michelle's for book club! Thanks to Michelle for hosting & for making it so fun. January's book club will be at Nikki F's house and the book that she's chosen is The Help by Kathryn Stockett. She says you can get it on Amazon for 10 bucks. Hope everyone enjoys their holiday and I'll see you next year! Happy reading :)

Plans for 2010

Hey everyone! Thanks to all those that made it out last night. We had some great discussion on the book and also made plans for 2010. Book club will be held on the last Wednesday of the month at 8:00. We decided that for June and July, we'll just pick a movie that's coming out based on a book and go see the movie for book club. The hostess will pick the book for the month that she hosts.

November's meeting will actually be held on Tuesday, December 1st at Michelle's house. The book will be Belong to Me by Marissa de los Santos. If you plan to attend, please contact Nikki Frashour to get directions. Thanks!

October's Book

The book for this month is The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Schaffer and Annie Barrows. We'll meet at my house on Thursday, October 29th at 8 pm. Happy reading!

Movie

The Time Travelers Wife premiers tomorrow night, but I'm thinking it would be better to go see it a little later in the month. That way we can avoid a sold out show and probably have a better turn out, since this is officially the last week of summer break and lots of people will be out of town. Either Saturday the 22nd or 29th would work. Everyone chime in and let me know which date works best for you and I'll make the arrangements. Talk to you guys soon!

Surprise!

at the restaurant afterward

So, we all got together to go to the premier of My Sister's Keeper and it was SOLD OUT!!!!! We ended up seeing The Proposal instead, which made us laugh instead of cry - not such a bad trade-off :) After the movie, we went to Pappaudeaux and ate DELICIOUS desserts. A fun night was had by all. Thanks to all who came out. When we reschedule the movie night, I'll let everyone know. In the meantime, you guys can get started on our next book, The Time Traveler's Wife. We're planning on attending the premier on August 16th. (Next time I'll buy our tickets in ADVANCE - I promise!) Happy reading!

My Sister's Keeper Premier!!!!!

Okay girls - the time is almost here for the premier of My Sister's Keeper. Unfortunately, it's not playing at Cottonwood, so we're going to have to go to the Century Rio. The movie starts at 7:35, so I figure we can all meet at my house at 6:30 to head over and get good seats. Afterward, we can all go out for dessert! If you know for sure that you're going, just let me know so we'll know how many to wait for. Can't wait! See you guys there :)

My Sister's Keeper

Thanks to Nikki for hosting book club last month. There was some really great discussion and delicious food from each of the countries represented in Eat, Pray, Love.

Our book for June is Jodi Picoult's My Sister's Keeper. We'll read the book and then go see the movie together on opening night, June 26th. I just finished the book today and it was great! I have to warn you guys that it's definitely a tear-jerker. I cried so many times that I lost count, but loved every minute of the book.

Can't wait to have a fun GNO to see the movie! I'll post the details as we get closer to opening night :)

Book Club Date Change

Due to some conflicts, the Eat, Pray, Love book club will be held Wednesday, May 20th at 8pm. It will still be at Nikki's house. See you guys there!

Eat, Pray, Love

Thanks to everyone who came for our These is My Words book club. Sarah, the food was amazing!!!! The book for next month is Eat, Pray, Love. It will be at Nikki's house on Tuesday, May 19th. (We bumped it up a bit so that it wouldn't interfere with Memorial Day plans.) I look forward to seeing everyone there :)

These Is My Words

The book is written by Nancy Turner. I've already started and really love it so far! We're meeting at 8pm on the 28th, so people who have youth activities to attend can still come a little late. We'll see you there!

We're baaaack!!!!

Okay, I know I totally dropped off the planet for the past several months, but I'm finally back. We're starting again strong in April with the book These Is My Words. I'm not sure who the author is, but once I find out I'll let you know. Everyone who has read it has good things to say about it, so I'm excited. We're meeting Tuesday, April 28th at Sarah's house to discuss it. Anyone who needs directions can give me a call. Hope to see everyone there!
