Look at me... I'm an Author. Now I just need to get published and start making royalites. :)

Loving this Group

Hey Girls,
Thanks to all who came out to our last meeting. It was a blast and we had a great discussion. Thanks Aleisha!!

Our next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, December 2nd at Jill Farnsworth's house in West Jordan. Holly and Aleisha are in charge of providing some sort of hot eats or cool treats. Rachael is going to be the discussion leader and the book is still up in the air. I have posted a list of books we discussed at the meeting. If anyone has any to add, please do. We should have the book finalized in a couple of weeks. Rachael, please keep us posted on this.

Please bring anyone you think might be interested in joining our club. Prizes will be awarded!! I hope everyone can come to the next meeting, as it will be our last for the year.

P.S. The Secret Life of Bees (the movie) will be coming out soon, if not already. If anyone wants to meet up and go, we totally should.

Discussion Questions!

Hey! I just noticed there are discussion questions in the back of the book. For those of you who have discussion questions in the backs of your books, read through them and see if there are any you'd like to talk about. (Not sure if all books have the questions...if you don't have discussion questions in your book, post (or email me) some topics or ideas that you're interested in.) If you see a question you'd like to answer, or would like us to talk about, let me know! Post them or email them to me by midnight, October 20th!! THANKS!!!

Hello Burton Babes!

(By the way, I vote for "Burton Babes" for the name of our book club. Hee hee. I think it's perfect! Gotta love Lavar Burton!) Hi! Hope everyone is well and eating as much Halloween candy as I am!

Anyway, I just wanted to let all the members know that I am open for suggestions regarding the discussion questions for "Snowflower." I want to talk about what YOU want to talk about. What would you like to discuss? Please email me or post questions on the blog, or email/post topics or themes you'd like to discuss. You have until the 2oth to send or post ideas and questions. (We're meeting the 22nd, so I put the 20th as the cut-off. This gives me a couple of days to compile some handouts for you guys!) What does everyone think? Would that be okay?! I'd appreciate the input!

Happy reading and Happy Fall!

October Meeting

Hi Everyone,
Sorry it took me so long to get this on here. Our next meeting will be October 22nd (that's a Wednesday night) at Holly's house at 6:30pm. So far, that I know of, those coming are Me, Holly, Aleisha, Rachael, Melissa, and possibly Jessie (she will be in town so we're trying to work out the details to see if she can come). I also met up with a friend from H.S., Jill, and she's interested in joining so she's going to come and she's bringing a friend. So I'm pretty excited about that.

I am bringing Chinese food for dinner, to go along with our theme for this months meeting. If everyone could please bring $3-$4 to chip in that would be great. I was planning on getting some egg rolls, maybe some fried wontons, white rice, pon pon chicken, maybe some noodles and another main dish with veggies and meat. Any suggestions? Or if there's something you don't like please let me know. You can post here or email me at work. Either way is fine.

Okay guys, I think that's it. We've all been to Holly's. If anyone needs directions or what not just let us know. I'm really excited about this meeting. I have lots of great ideas for spicing up our meetings so come ready to discuss and put in your two-cents!

P.S. Feel free to add yourselves as an author. If anyone needs help you can have Holly show you how at the meeting. Thanks!
