Read, Read, Read

On a windy, rainy, dark day like today what a better time to read. Out next book club read will be June Bug, by Chris Fabry followed by The Christmas Secret by Donna VanLiere. The book for January will be "The Fence My Father Built, " by Clare. Bernice was able to get the books for $12 a piece. If you need or want one please let me know right away.

"The Secret Life of Bees" by Sue Monk Kidd

Dear Ladies, I hope this blog all finds you healthy (and not down with the swine flu) this fine Autumn day. I read this book several months ago but thought it was a very interesting story. I am looking forward to sharing your questions and thoughts about it. Did anyone see the movie? I saw it and thought it was an accurate portrayal of the book.

We will be meeting at Summer Highfill's house this next Monday, the 9th of November at 7:00 pm. She will be making a delicious dessert for us as well. Thanks Summer.

We do have a new little one whose library we need to help start. Please bring a book for Scotlyn Rose Curtis, Heather's baby girl.

Hopefully you like the new layout of the blog. I finally was able to list all of the books we have read. It is quite an accomplishment. It is hard to believe that we started over 3 years ago.
Happy Reading! Janie
