Lost and Found

Is anyone missing a watch from Book Club? It is silver with a pink face. Let Bethany know if the watch is yours. (We found it among the couch cushions!)

september's book unveiled

september's book club will be held on thursday, sep. 25th at 6:30 p.m. at the udall home. 294 w. merrill avenue, gilbert, arizona 85233. if you got the email, i don't have everybody's email so forward it to those i did not have addresses for. light refreshments will be served.

please make sure to get the book at your bookstore of choice or library. the book voted on was richard wright's native son. it was recently highlighted on npr if you want to take a look at what they had to say. i just got home from the library and it is a "thick" book (translated...a long book). i sent you a summary as well as discussion questions that you can use to guide your reading.

let's all aim to read "most" of the book so all can partake in the discussion. i know all of us have busy lives, but now the olympics are not occupying our evening hours (lol) maybe we can get through it all.

happy reading to all!

August Book Club Reminder

Hey Literary Wenches!

Just a reminder that we will have our next meeting Friday, August 22 at 7 pm at the Marilyn Brown home hosted by Angela Smithson and, to a lesser degree, Bethany Hutchins.

We will be having some yummy food and good discussion! (Can anyone doubt it with Angela on board?)

Now I realize that many of you may not have read our latest selection: A Wedding in December by Anita Shreve. (There have even been various reports that it was difficult to get into because of the numerous characters that begin the book.) However, please join us anyway and we'll include discussions of Anita Shreve's other books ( The Pilot's Wife, Strange Fits of Passion, Fortune Rocks, Sea Glass, etc.) and we will compare them to this novel.

I also propose that we discuss the latest addition to the Twilight Series, Breaking Dawn. I know we'll all have some definite opinions on that!

Please bring any books you are done reading and do not want to keep for your collection and we will have a little book exchange at our next meeting. That way you can cleanse or binge according to your desires!
