The Lace Book Reader

I am a little late on getting this entry published. I apologize for the lateness. The meeting from our last book went well. We met at RedEye coffee, and I had my usual scrumptious chai. We discussed the twist ending from the book, and we also discussed the mental state that the narrator was in during the course of the novel.

Since for all intensive purposes, the book club is no long a happy hour one, but a Saturday morning book and a movie one, we went and saw "The Lovely Bones". It was very moving. It was not exactly in accordance with the book, but in film, it usually never is.

Our next book is called The Lace Reader by Brunonia Barry. If you want to know more about this book, go to the website here. This book also has an unreliable narrator which is going to keep me on my toes. The next meeting is Saturday, February 6th. See you there!

Cheers!

Fairy Tale Reading

Welcome back to book club happy hour!! I hope all of you have had a great and rejuvinating winter break. I know that the two weeks away from the hustle of home definately made me happy.

We have already had a meeting to discuss the THREE books we chose to take on during the winter break. We discussed them thouroughly while sipping our caffinated beverages from the local hotspot, REDEYE coffee. We changed the meeting place from Badass Coffee to REDEYE because it was a more central location to our after club movie theatre.

Our next book takes a departure from the serious nature of our past books, and delves into the land of Gregory Mcguire a la "Wicked". It is called Godmother: The Secret Cinderella Story by Carolyn Turgeon. It is a fun read. We will be meeting to discuss it on January 23, 2010.
