Thanks to Mandy Taggart for hosting us last month and for leading the discussion. It was a really good time and we had a great turnout. And the brownies were delicious and, as far as we know, nothing like the chocolate pie in the book! :)

The book for June (one of the top ones voted for in our poll) is The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith. This is a great, enjoyable, quick read that seems to have good availability at local libraries and I'm sure is inexpensive online. The book is actually the first in a whole long series, so if you've already read it perhaps you could read one of the others to discuss as well.

There was a request to consider changing meeting nights to Thursdays. No one at the meeting had any conflicts that we could think of. If Thursdays would not work for you, please let me know. We may change to them, or if they are a problem for some people as well, we may alternate months.

So for now, book club will be either the 2nd Wednesday or 2nd Thursday or June (the 8th or 9th I believe). Also, the book for July, if you want to get a head start, is Goose Girl by Shannon Hale, and August is Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins.

Meeting this week!

After much effort expended by all of us to get our hands on copies of The Help, we are finally ready to meet and discuss it. I loved the book and am looking forward to hearing what all of you have to say about it.

The details of the meeting have changed a bit. We are now meeting at Mandy Taggart's house, and we will be meeting at 8:00 instead of 7:30 (just this month due to a conflict many people had). So here's the plan:

Wednesday, May 11th
8 pm
Mandy Taggart's house
(address and code are listed in the email you should have gotten--please call or email Emily or Mandy if you don't have those)

And just for fun, Linda Goodman showed me the trailer for the movie they are making of The Help, due to come out in August. It looks like it's going to be as enjoyable as the book.


See you Wednesday night!
