Can you believe it! An update the same night as the book group meeting!
We are reading A Death in the Family, by James Agee. Current count in Contra Costa County library is 9 on the shelf (of 3 different editions).
Our next meeting will be the THIRD Friday of December - Friday, December 17th
Rachel will be leading the discussion,
Lisa will bring our next selections,
and Sherrie will bring refreshments.
See y'all there, and here's another surprise, after MONTHS (and may I say you all are very patient and kind not to nag me about it), the website is up-to-date:
For next month, we are reading The Postmistress by Sara Blake.
There appear to be quite a few in the Contra Costa Library. I just put myself on the hold list, and I am 2nd in line. It appears that if you get yourself in the queue, you should have a copy in time to read it for the meeting.
Ah, the meeting -- Don't forget it is not the FOURTH Friday, but the THIRD Friday, November 19th. This is to avoid the Thanksgiving week. I will make every effort to remind everyone 2 weeks before, and then 1 week before the meeting.
Let's see...
Lisa is our hostess, Rachel will bring the next selections, and Brooke will be our facilitatress.
See you all there next month!
Maybe I will expend some effort and get the website back up-to-date.
Greetings everyone - this week we are reading The Whistling Season, by Ivan Doig. There are enough copies in the Contra Costa Library to accommodate everyone.
Our next meeting will be October 22.
Hostess - Rachel, Book selections - Brooke, Discussion - Denise
See y'all there!
Our August meeting will be on Friday, August 27, 2010, and please take note: We will be meeting at Kim's house! Her address is 56 Millthwaite, Martinez. I will send a map halfway though the month.
This month we will be reading Run, by Ann Patchett. This might be the first author that we have "triple-played".
August 2002 we read Bel Canto
September 2005 we read Patron Saint of Liars
Interesting fact: We have read more than one book of SIX authors, or SEVEN if you count the two books of John Steinbeck we read in one month.
But I digress...
Kim will facilitate our discussion,
Denise will bring food, and
Donna will bring September's book selections
I counted up the number of available copies of Run, by Ann Patchett, and lost count. I think there are 25 in the Contra Costa Library system. Both hardback and paperback are available from Amazon starting at $2.
See you in August! Good reading.
