question for all the girls

Karen Carroll called me and was trying to remember who in our group was the one who said her favorite movie was Man of La Mancha...she has a great brochure she wants to pass on...

Book of Joe is available at the Library!

Dear Fellow Book Club Members,

Thank you to Claudia for a wonderful dinner at our last meeting - what a treat to have a full Thanksgiving meal with all the trimmings! Book Club night is my favorite night of the month. Speaking of which - our plan for the next meeting is at Chris Mallon's on April 9 at 5:30. We will be reading our next book, The Book of Joe, by Jonathan Tropper which is available and ready for checkout at the library! This book was chosen by Debbie.

Chris was very helpful in putting together this list of who will be choosing the next book next :

Debbie

Esther

Claudia

Gerry

Adrienne

Barbara

(Melanie)

Nancy

Chris

Debbie

In other news, be sure to consider attending the NCRL presentation of Nancy Pearl, Seattle Librarian and Author of the book Book Lust and many other books - about good books!
She will be speaking at the Wenatchee Library on March 19th at 7:00 PM. I am definitely planning to attend, and would love to carpool with anyone else interested.

note to Debbie

Hey Debbie: do you think our group can collaborate on listing all the books the club has read since its inception on our blog? Maybe we can brainstom at our April meeting? FARMGIRL

New E-mail

I haven't been here in a while. Sometimes I had a hard time getting in. So now that I have a new e-mail address, I created a new account and am starting over. Hopefully this works. I hope everyone is well. I'm really sad I missed the last book club dinner because I loved our last book and looked forward to hearing what all of you had to say. I hope all is well with you. I do have a new e-mail which is bscoville@nwi.net if you want to make a note. Thanks.

Happy Tuesday!

I am so glad Esther posted this Blog for us to all keep in touch!
