It was loads of fun; you girls are a crack up! I'm excited for our next meeting and book. I LOVE Halloween-<br /><br />There's a list of books we've talked about posted on the side of the blog. Do you guys want me to remove any of these? Or just add the ones we've talked about in past meetings to the current list?<br />Is there any better way to manage book club and the blog? Do you guys even think this is worth keeping? Seems like we don't use it that much anymore. So I'm just wondering your thoughts on this.Leader of the Packhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12637244524857002805noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-334768292529094311.post-34185348722568688532009-06-07T09:55:00.000-07:002009-06-07T09:56:53.014-07:00UpdateHey everyone,<br />I picked a book and updated the blog.

Yes we are still on for this coming Wednesday, June 3rd. My address is:<br />610 N 400 W #H, Centerville. It's pretty easy. Just take I-15 North to the Centerville exit. Turn Right off the exit, go east till you get to 4th West and turn left at the light (by the Dairy Queen). Go north on 4th west and turn right at the Pineae Gardens sign. Take the first right and our condo building is the south building that faces east. We are on the 2nd floor just up the steps. Call if you get lost. Is anyone coming from the North?<br /><br />I don't remember who signed up for refreshments. Does anyone remember? If not, I will plan to have something here.<br /><br />Looking forward to seeing you all soon!Leader of the Packhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12637244524857002805noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-334768292529094311.post-81782669383974059462009-05-28T08:41:00.000-07:002009-05-28T08:43:39.917-07:00LocationCami, What is your address?

If we did, I was so not mentally there. I will be honest and tell you all that I have not made it very far yet. How is everyone else doing? Should we shoot for sometime in April? Did we also decide on who is hosting? I do remember I'm leading the discussion, which will be really sad if I don't even read the book... Good luck to you all!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-334768292529094311.post-63229988335949885142009-02-23T00:44:00.000-08:002009-02-23T00:49:22.513-08:00Feedback and This Month's BookHi ladies,<br /><br />How is everyone? I miss seeing your smiling faces and reading books with you! I miss it so much I am starting up a book club here in Cali. Our first meeting is tomorrow-Monday (well, today actually since it's almost 1 am! Yikes! Guess I should hit the sack. But first....).<br /><br />In light of my second book club (obviously the Burton Babes are the BEST, and #1 in my heart), I was just wondering what you all think of the blog. Do you like it, use it, etc. Do you think it's a good way of communicating, or is email just easier? Also, what do you like best about the book club? What things are you incorporating in the meetings that you like?<br /><br />Also, what is the book for this month? I can't seem to find the info in my overflowing inbox. If someone could post and let me know that would be awesome. I am trying to stay up with you guys, even though I don't post about the books. I'll try to be better, so I can feel involved.<br /><br />Miss you guys!

It's a Wednesday night. What does everyone think of that? Would that work? If not, I could host the 30th (but that's a Friday night), or Saturday afternoon, the 31st. What do you think? I think the 28th would be great!Hi, I'm Aleisha!http://www.blogger.com/profile/08564878008293614520noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-334768292529094311.post-41406629436046279202008-12-02T20:57:00.000-08:002008-12-02T21:13:55.707-08:00Thanks for the LaughsWhat a great meeting we had tonight. Thanks for the great discussion and laughs. I'm glad I have your friendships to help push me along in this thing called life.<br /><br />Aleisha, thank you so much for bringing Sunshine to our meeting. Welcome Sunshine. I am so excited to have you in our club! You are so cute and bring great insights and energy to our group.<br />A reminder- please invite anyone you know who would love to be in our club. I promise a better prize next time. (Sorry Lou!)<br /><br />Jill- Thanks for hosting. Your place is cute and cozy. I think you are Lily's new best friend! Thanks Rachael for the great discussion questions and hand outs.<br /><br />The book for our next meeting is called: The Cold Sassy Tree by Olive Ann Burns.<br />We will be meeting the last week in January; exact date to be announced at a later time.<br />Aleisha is hosting and will send out an email reminder about a week before our next meeting. We also decided that one email reminder will be sent before each meeting by the person hosting the current meeting. That way we'll all remember to check the blog for updates, etc.<br /><br />Okay I think that's it. Look in your email for a current list of books and contact info for each group member. I've also updated the side column to reflect some of the books we talked about adding to our list.<br /><br />Aleisha, if you could please email me Sunshine's informationt to my work email I'll get her added to the list.

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!!

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!<br /><br />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! <br /><br />Happy reading and Happy Fall!Hi, I'm Aleisha!http://www.blogger.com/profile/08564878008293614520noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-334768292529094311.post-81036878008408657012008-10-09T21:32:00.000-07:002008-10-09T21:45:49.285-07:00October MeetingHi Everyone,<br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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!<br /><br />P.S. Feel free to add yourselves as an author. If anyone needs help you can have Holly show you how at the meeting.

Still, I need someone to check my work and make sure I did this right. I'm such a nerd. It's pathetic!! Hee hee. I'm proud you guys are posting and commenting. It makes me happy to know that you are at least still interested in Book Club.<br /><br />Just a quick update. Haven't had too many responses for meeting in September so Holly, Aleisha and I decided we'll just meet in October. Any weekend would work except for the 1st weekend (conference) and the last weekend in Oct. We can also meet on a week night if you'd like. SO let's blog among ourselves and if you can't come that's fine. But we are having a meeting in October cuz we haven't met since June cuz our club fire is dim.<br /><br />Thanks Friends!!<br /><br />P.S. I love the look of this blog. WAY more then my own. How sad. I'd better fix that. :)Leader of the Packhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12637244524857002805noreply@blogger.com0
