Next Bookclub 8/20/13 at 2pm

Hey all you ladies, I just wanted to remind us all that we need to buy the book and have it read by Tuesday August 20th. We will be meeting at 2pm.--------- I need to confirm where we will be having the meeting. There was talk about doing it at the beach. I cannot stay past 5:30 pm so if a bonfire is planned I will not be attending. I can only attend the bookclub part. This month is super busy and everyone is having birthdays, etc.......--------not to mention Meriah's bday is coming tooooo------------------I will send minutes from last meeting out shortly. TRISTANA please let me know if you want club at your house or somewhere else.

July Bookclub This Monday 7/29/13

Hey gals, Its that time again. Meeting Monday at 4:30pm at ALi's house. Tristana is sending a menu out to everyone so if you haven't heard from her get in touch. Please keep in mind that I will need to leave my house for work at 7:45pm so we will need to be done by that time. REVISITING the meeting day options; Mondays aren't going to work for me after this week. I have a class with students and money coming to my classes on Mondays at 6pm, then I work at 8pm. This gives crappy timing to meet not to mention I probably wont want to eat before working people out. So are options are few but here they are, please give suggestions as I would like to continue being apart of this club. MERIAH: If we moved club to sundays at 6 or 7pm would that work for Jim and you? Would a later time on Sunday work for everyone else? MAREN what is the Tuesday hang up for you again? Last option is that I will either have to visit club for an hour and bail or opt out for a few clubs. Maybe I can interject from a far. I don't know what to do but I would like any suggestions if you have any. Thanks ladys see you Monday.

Bookclub day

Is anyone interested in doing a bookclub breakfast like Sundays 8-10am? Or is this too early? Would this even work for you Meriah?

Book Reports

IDEA: We could each do a simple book report (template like a kids) and see what different takes come to the meeting table???????? Any thoughts?? see if this link works https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaQkQeuD389MCgHoO3Cz-20dUX0AMKtgggGeoj22gGO_nPU5lrlj1XjDXs2RONUTSBtCWsuiTU5k3bwF4zmtdzLwo8Aj8fOBsXgBWQnkdA25Po4hQfGskRlB8HufQPH1lNJdO9Jd30pHyR/s1600/Book-report-one-page-fiction.JPG The link should take you to a simple book report form.

Bookclub chapter assignment

Hey ladies, I've been checking out other bookclubs to see how different ones run themselves. I found a cool idea from one and wanted to discuss it at the meeting. An idea for club would be assigning chapters to be complete by a certain date. For instance if a book is 300 pages, that's 10 pages a day for the month. Or we could do something like week 1- read chapter 1-2, week 2- read chapter 2-5, etc...... This may help with larger books of 400 pages or more should we want to read a long paged book. This could help train us to read at least 10 pages a day, this could help make the reading seem like it takes less time. Just a thought. Let me know what you think.
