Next up

Sorry for the delay. This whole picking books in advance thing is really just a big excuse for me to slack off.

We had a good meeting at Tara's house (thank you). Just a few of us, and I think only Tara actually finished the book, but others were reading it (myself included).

I don't know... at the meeting I was feeling pretty generous towards old Bill O'Reilly and thought I'd like the book but ... once I finished it, I changed my mind. I would rather read a historical tome written by an actual historian. Anyone think differently, please POST.

Next up is The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. I think on May 8th (Erin can you confirm this?). Personally, I think this is a good one, but I will save further comments until the meeting.

MOST IMPORTANT - no one else has signed up after May's meeting! I think we were going to try and keep this going, even through the summer, so anyone willing to host, let me know. I would be happy to host in July or August (pool party) but don't want to take the opportunity away from someone who hasn't had a chance yet ;-) And I think the rules allow summer field trips so if anyone has a literary idea in mind, let us know! Maybe one of the newbies wants to break the ice by hosting? nudge nudge wink wink say no more

Happy Reading!

Next meeting coming up SOON!

It has been a great while yet again! Next meeting is scheduled for Thursday March 27th and the book is "Killing Jesus" by Bill O'Reilly (my husband almost had a heart attack when he saw that on my bedside table :-). Tara will send out details soon. Hope to see everyone! Happy reading,
KJ

"Just Kids" meeting went well, BTW. Funny, even though many of us said we couldn't get into the book, we certainly talked about it quite a bit - what life must have been like back then, spoken word poetry, the who's who of Patti's world, etc. So it made some impression on us. In hindsight, I am glad I read it. It wasn't easy, but I learned from it and have a greater appreciation for Patti Smith.
