Invitations

Just wondering where we're at in terms of inviting guests to book club meetings. I know that last year we had put a hold on bringing new people into the fold because our numbers were so large, but since a few of our members are taking a break, does anyone object to me inviting a good friend to come along next month?

Books to consider for 2010 (March onwards)

Hi again,

These books came up during our chat at Jenn's as possible reads for upcoming months:
- "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett
- "The Golden Mean" by Annabel Lyon
- "Bright Shiny Morning" by James Frey
- "Veronica" by Mary Gaitskill
- "Four Pillars..." by Ken Follett
- "Youth in Revolt" by C.D. Payne
- "Stones Into Schools: Promoting Peace with Books" - sequel to "Three Cups of Tea" by Greg Mortenson

Good price on books!

Hi Gals,

Esther here again. Just wanted to let you know that I got "Still Alice" for $6 on Chapters.ca and
"The Help" was around $16. And of course, I just had to buy another book to qualify for free shipping...you know how it goes. Thought the prices were really good though...

Thanks Jen!

Thanks Jen W. for a wonderful and cosy evening the other night. Great company, discussion, and food! You gals rock! Was great to meet Heather too and hear all about her Australian adventure. Looking forward to next two books.

Esther

Apologies

Happy 2010 everyone!

I just wanted to apologize to Jennifer W. for NOT sending out an rsvp about Tuesday's meeting. Sophie had a high fever & gross cough & book club just wasn't on my radar. I heard that it was a great evening and I'm sorry I missed it. It seems as though scheduling conflicts and winter bugs have kept me from attending the last few meetings, but I'm looking forward to seeing everybody at Marci's next month. (By coincidence, I'm reading Outliers right now and I'm finding it really interesting.)

Have a great month!

February 23rd Bookclub: "Outliers"

Hi all,

I'm looking forward to hosting a non-fiction night in February at my place. Malcolm Gladwell's "Outliers" is the book and I'm sure it will generate lots of great discussion.

Hope to see you on the fourth Tuesday in Feb (Feb 23rd). Please come anytime after 7pm. I would prefer to send out a map to anyone who needs it (rather than post it here), so please rsvp and I will send out directions via e-mail. (Or, if you're not sure if you can make it but need directions just in case...let me know by e-mail and I will send them out: mjc@sfu.ca)

Marci

Happy New Year Everyone :)
I would love to get the blog updated for at least the next three upcoming meetings, can any information known about book selections or hosting, and any other info to be shared, be emailed to me and I will post all here in the sidebar.

Sorry for not getting to this sooner, my brain is still on holidays. Hope everyone enjoyed theirs!
