Thank you Eva!!!

Eva, thanks for hosting the family BBQ, it was so much fun! The kids had a blast too and were quite worn out by the end of the evening. However, I am very sorry for the mess I feel we must have left behind! I hope you were not up all night cleaning up after all of us. Thanks so much...what fun!!!

Shannon's hosting bookclub, Friday the 9th...

Hi all,

Bookclub is at Shannon's house, Friday the 9th and we get to talk and rave about or complain about Shannon's pick, The Shack.

I am sending out this reminder early, because I will be on vacation and now I get to CHECK this off my to-do list! :-) So, if you haven't read the book, you still have almost two weeks to read it. Can you reply to this post to let Shannon know if you can attend or not.

My family has had to re-jigger our vacation dates, and unfortunatly we will not get home until the day after bookclub. So, I will have to miss bookclub at Shannon's house, probably sitting on her breezy back sunporch, sipping something lovely and eating delicious yummies, with good friends. BUMMER!

Please let Shannon know if you can attend bookclub at her house so she knows how many of us to expect.

Thanks ladies!
Renee

Finally finished The Little Stranger, by Sarah Waters

....and thought is was fantastic!!! It took me a long time to read (like over a month), but once I got into the book, it was addicting. Good pick, Christina! I have been very sad since I have finished the book, not knowing what to do with myself. Seriously. Kind of wierd, I know! haha! Already read The Shack, so starting on Kathie's copy of Dear John (just in case anyone cared). See you all tomorrow at Eva's BBQ. -Renee

Ok, I think everything is settled

I have added everyone's email address so that if there is a comment made, you will receive an email AND if there is a post made, you will receive an email. Let's see if that worked! Testing, testing, testing!!! :-)

July bookclub and THANKS!!!!

Hi all,

Well, thanks for attending another month of book club! Christina, I think we all want your recipes, the pasta and bread thinga ma-jing-ga salad was soooooo fantastic! I could have sat at your counter and munched all night long!

Next up, is Shannon! July’s book club is at Shannon’s house, on July the 9th. Shannon, we are all reved up and ready to read the next book! (Ok, confession…I am still reading Christina’s book, and I am finally really into it! I love it)! Shannon, do you know what book you want to pick? We are all waiting with bating (sp?) breath, especially those of us who want to reserve it FIRST before any of you other gals at the library!   teehee

Another point that I would like to touch upon (sounds so official), I am going to be looking at our blog in more depth this past month. I would typically put this email in the blog, rather than email it out…but I have to just check to see how to make it happen that you are alerted via email that a post has been posted. Once that is all done, I think the blog could be a fun spot for us all to “hang out” and keep track of everything. So, more on that a little later.

Until next book club, HAPPY READING!!!!

Shannon's pick for July.....THE SHACK

Hi! There are so many books I'd like to read! Some of my top choices weren't readily available at the library, maybe in a few months there will be more copies to check out!

Until then, the July book club selection is The Shack by Wm. Paul Young. I know it's been a popular book, so I'm hoping that not too many of you have already read it.

I did put together a list of book that friends have suggested. Maybe one of these days I'll post the list on the bookclub blog. Until then, happy reading!

Shannon
