change of plans

I hope I’m not scaring people away by changing things… again… but here I go. 🙂

Seeing that this is summer, and for most people, that means a BUSY schedule. We are pushing the book discussion on My Name Is Asher Lev back to Saturday August 15th. So, check your schedule! Are you free?! You should come!!!

Actually, that will be our last Saturday meeting. After that, we will most likely be meeting on Monday nights. But this is not set in stone. Would you rather it be a different week night? If so, please speak up!

Happy Reading!!!

*important schedule update*

Due to next weekend being Father’s Day weekend and the busyness of summer schedules, I’m canceling the book club meeting for this month. (scheduled for next Saturday 6/20)

Sorry if this is short notice, I was waiting to see how our turn-out would be before saying anything, and it seems everyone is busy! (somehow this happens often in the summers!)

We will meet next to discuss My Name Is Asher Lev on July 25th. I’ve heard many of you express that you were looking forward to this book!

Happy Reading!
Sarah

Happy One Year!!


Happy 1st Anniversary to us!!! Yep, this month we turn ONE!
Watch for a newsletter coming soon!

In other news, Saturday we were going to meet to discuss The Shack……… BUT there was only one other person who could make it. She and I decided to discuss it another night. (probably a week night) If you are have read it and are interested in grabbing some coffee with us one night to chat about it please let me know and I’ll pass on the details!

Next month’s book is Suzanna Wesley by Arnold A. Dallimore on June 20th. We are getting into summer schedules and I know things get booked (hehe) up pretty quickly. Don’t forget to get this book soon so you have time to read it! We were also planning on having June’s meeting be a family picnic, maybe more in the afternoon/evening with a pitch-in for dinner. Please give me some feed back if you and your family are interested and would be able to make it. Should be lots of fun!!!

Thanks and happy reading!

In December we are going to have our Christmas party! We need to start looking at dates for that… before things get too busy! (suggestions anyone??) Think of people you’d like to invite! It’d be a great chance for them to come for the first time and see what it’s all about.

Then the next meeting after that won’t be until February. We’ll adjust our every-other month schedule because of the holidays. I’ll reveal that book at our Christmas party. (unless you just can’t take the suspense and want to get started on it early!!) 🙂
