AUGUST Book Club

August's book club will be held on August 26th at 7pm at Teresa Whitebread's home (5351 Lightning Peak Dr.)

The book is The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer & Annie Barrows.


Synopsis:
January 1946: London is emerging from the shadow of the Second World War, and writer Juliet Ashton is looking for her next book subject. Who could imagine that she would find it in a letter from a man she's never met, a native of the island of Guernsey, who has come across her name written inside a book by Charles Lamb.

As Juliet and her new correspondent exchange letters, Juliet is drawn into the world of this man and his friends and what a wonderfully eccentric world it is. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society--born as a spur-of-the-moment alibi when its members were discovered breaking curfew by the Germans occupying their island--boasts a charming, funny, deeply human cast of characters, from pig farmers to phrenologists, literature lovers all.

Juliet begins a remarkable correspondence with the society's members, learning about their island, their taste in books, and the impact the recent German occupation has had on their lives. Captivated by their stories, she sets sail for Guernsey, and what she finds will change her forever.

Written with warmth and humor as a series of letters, this novel is a celebration of the written word in all its guises, and of finding connection in the most surprising ways.

June Book Club (updated)

Hello Book Clubbers,

This month’s book club will be June 24th @ 7. Put it on the calendar now, and plan that Lake Powell trip around it. ;)

This book is The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I haven’t read it yet but it has excellent reviews. I’ve seen it recommended on several blogs and also by Stephanie Meyer. Looks intriguing and suspenseful.

Here’s a little synopsis: Katniss is a 16-year-old girl living with her mother and younger sister in the poorest district of Panem, the remains of what used be the United States. Long ago the districts waged war on the Capitol and were defeated. As part of the surrender terms, each district agreed to send one boy and one girl to appear in an annual televised event called, "The Hunger Games." The terrain, rules, and level of audience participation may change but one thing is constant: kill or be killed. When Kat's sister is chosen by lottery, Kat steps up to go in her place.

Happy reading!

Hosting!

Hey girls we still have a few months that need hosting! If you would like to host please click on the comments and put wich month you would like to host that is not already taken! Thank you.
For all that missed our meeting for Sarah's Key it was a hit, and a great read. Although we thought the author could have gone a few different ways with the book, especially the ending...I think we all agreed that it was a very sad but moving story in so many ways. can we say HARSH REALITY! wow, but what a great subject that most of us know little about. The people that suffered and died will always be remembered through books like this one, and for that we are gratefull. Thanks Karyn for hosting, it was great.

March Book Club!

March book club will be hosted by Karyn Anderson, the book she has chosen is...Sarah's Key, by Tatiana De Rosnay! It will be held Thursday, April 2nd at 7:00 at Karyn's home.

Hey Book Club Gals!!

Hey girls! I decided it would be a good ideah to start a book club blog! This way we can put the hosting schedule up so everyone knows, and this way everyone can post on this blog whatever they want in regards to book club....books they have picked, or book reccomendations, scheduling etc... I think this way it will be easy for everyone to know what is going on all the time!!!!
