Hope you're all enjoying reading/rereading the novella, "The Old Man and The Sea." ...It's a short book, so don't despair if you haven't started reading it yet! You still have plenty of time.
I look forward to getting together:
Thursday, Feb 5th @ 830pm
See you there!
Michele

For the love of reading
Welcome to our Book Club Blog!
This is the central information station for our Book Club. Here you will find:
1. The book, schedule and hostess of future meetings
2. Discussion questions or relevant links to a current or past book we are reading
3. Special instructions about an upcoming meeting
4. Log of past books
5. The chance to rate the books we read!
Feel free to post questions, titles of interest, recipes, whatever you want that would help us all stay better connected.
Housekeeping Items
We meet the fourth Thursday of each month (with a few exceptions) at 8:30 p.m.
The hostess picks the book, provides a location and a drink.
The rest of us bring a snack to share if possible. It is always fun to let the book inspire this aspect of the meeting!
Try to read the book ahead of time to promote good discussion.
Location can be a home, park, restaurant, up the canyon, attending a play or movie based on the book, etc. Get creative!

Hooray Mel, I got back in, Thanks for your invitation. Yes I have read the Old Man and the Sea and enjoyed it. Norine
Thanks for the fun evening, Michelle! The book that I had mentioned regarding the family that spend two years afloat is called Black Wave by John and Jean Silverwood.
Okay these are my comments for summer. Sorry I missed the Arabian Nights Spectacular! I am available to have the book group in July OR in August IF it is on another night - not so good for me Aug 6 that would be a Cub Pack night. A light supper in my back yard could be fun July 2nd (no Cubs that month)
Some books I've really enjoyed of late are: "Fire In THe Bones" by Michael Wilcox - historical about W.Tyndall who sacrificed his life to transcribe the bible into English. OR "Traitor" and or "Tribunal" both by Sandra Grey - great romance - spy novels. (historical time of 2nd World War.) OR "Train to Potevka" also a spy story. These are all very fine LDS authors. Or another easy read is "Hattie and the Big Sky" - by Kirby Larsen - a Newberry Honor Book, about a young girl who homestead on her own in Montata. All 5 are great books, is anyone interested??? Norine
