So You Haven't Read the Book for Feb...

Me neither. But I am going to. I just ordered a used copy from Amazon. It was only $4. I originally checked it out from the library, but never read it. The $4 will probably be cheaper than the late fees I am accumulating.

Kelley graciously has offered for us to have book club at her house. She lives in Renton near 405, so it should be a nice central-ish location.

For food, I would like to make some sort of main dish -- lasagna or maybe something inspired by the book (not sure as I haven't read it yet, but we shall see). Ideas?

If you can bring wine or an appetizer, please put it in the comments below. That way, I'll know what we're missing.

Okay. I've got two days to get my library copy back to the library before my new-old copy gets here. Maybe I'll read a little bit while my son takes a nap.

I also need to get an idea of how many people are coming, so please respond to the poll at right. Thanks!

~Happy reading!

Whoops!

I've been completely out of it. The holidays did me in this year. So I sort of let time get away from me. But, now, it's 2011! A fresh new year!

Right now, we should've all finished reading Alias Grace.

Yup.

So, how many of you are done?

Not me. But no matter. If you all were able to read it, let's meet this month. If not and you want to wait till February to meet, then so be it.

Okay. Let's vote! (Vote through Friday, Jan. 7 - 11:59 p.m.)

We're Tied: Choosing February's Book

We're tied. But instead of voting and spending another week deciding, I'm flipping a coin...virtually with Random.org/coins.

Heads - The Book Thief
Tails - Alias Grace

Here I go...

Heads.

OK, peeps. Our book for February is The Book Thief by Markus Zusak.

Happy holidays & merry reading!

Vote for February's Book & Looking Ahead to April

Okay, it's time to vote on the next book selection.

I meant to get the poll up by Wednesday, but I've had a lot of weird things going on this week. So, I apologize.

I used a random number generator from Random.org to choose three books from our list to vote on. Please vote before Tuesday, 12/15, at 5 p.m.

APRIL: If nobody minds, I'd like to choose three more titles after this poll closes so we can vote April's book. That way, if anyone finishes early and wants to read ahead, they can. Send me any other book suggestions you want me to add to the list before I set up April's poll.

Thanks & happy reading!

PS: If anyone is looking for a funny, crass, fluffy memoir, I am reading Bitter is the New Black by Jen Lancaster right now and it's cracking me up. I can't believe it's a memoir!
