Back to school and back to the classics


We are looking for someone to host our next book club meeting, which will be Thursday Sept. 8th at 8pm. Leave a comment or shoot me an email if you're interested.

Thanks to everyone who came to our August meeting to discuss The Hunger Games. It was really fun to hear everyone's experiences reading the book(s). Thanks so much to Jenny Abril for stepping in and hosting us in her home. We had a really great time. Thanks everyone!

If you have not yet heard, our September book is The Scarlet Pimpernel by Emmuska Orczy. If you've already read it, you know what a delightful, fast read it is. If you've seen the 1982 film with Anthony Andrews, Jane Seymour and Ian McKellan, you know it's a great story and the good news is that the book is even better. If you haven't read it, you are in for a treat. And if you haven't seen the film either, which is hilarious, then I am really jealous of you. Andrews' portrayal of Sir Percival Blakeney is fantastic. Odd's fish!

"Hungering" for a good book? Ha ha.

Our August meeting will be held at Sande Pullen's home on Thursday the 11th at 8pm. We will be discussing, "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins (dun dun dun). Thanks so much to Sande for being willing to have us over. If you happen to have an extra copy, feel free to post a comment or respond to the email for anyone who's still looking for a copy.

Thanks also (very late--sorry!) to Amy Reidhead for hosting us last month to discuss "Goose Girl." We had a really great discussion and a fun evening together, not to mention some delicious chocolate cake! Yum. Feel free to come if you haven't been before--we have a different group every month due to people's schedules and the book we're reading. We always want more members. So see you at our next meeting! :)
