"Ahoy There Matey's"

It's true, I no lie. here's your proof that today is Talk Like a Pirate Day. Well if Wikipedia can be called proof.
but here's the "official" website.

fitting since we just read a pirate book, no?

septmeber 30th

we will meet september 30th so that everyone has the time read the book at melissa's house at 8. if you don't finish the book by then please still come and join us. we will be watching the 1935 film version of the book with errol flynn playing the lead role. (the brad pitt of his time or maybe i should say the colin ferrel of his time as he was quite the rogue.)

so bring a snack to share and we will see you there!!!

ps...i have a video camera and i thought it would be fun to pick out a scene to act out and then watch it all together. anyone game?? 

when to meet?

what day works best for you guys tuesday sept 23 or tues sept 30? 

this meet will be for the book captain blood so if you have not read it yet find or borrow yourself a copy. i am not sure what we will be doing yet or where we will meet but i just wanted to know what day works best. 

also, small side note, i was hoping this could be a kid free evening and i am sure that if you are like me you could use the time away:)

it's NOT october yet...

So don't get mad when I say I want to change my October book choice. I figure I only get one chance to choose a book every (however many people are in our book club) and I'm not in love with my choice. It's not that I don't want to read it, cause I do. And I will. But I just think I want a change of pace after Captain Blood (A really fun book). Instead of something slightly similar that feels too similar, and therefore boring. So in order to keep us from being bored and to let Robinson Caruso get the full and undivided attention it deserves, I REALLY want to change books.

i know I'm a fickle woman, and I SHOULD have thought of this before I posted my book choice on the blog. And hopefully none of you have BOUGHT it yet, but is it too late?

let's take a vote. is it too late?

vote "yes it's too late, crazy lady. stick with your first choice and get on with life"

or vote "no go ahead and change it. we still gots time".

Maybe it will help, if I tell you the book I'm thinking of. It's called The Accidental Tourist by Anne Tyler. I found it in the freebie bin, and I'm gonna read it either way. It looks really fun and got good reviews. So...
can we switch or not? Vote... now.

thanks

darn good book

i just finished. i'm glad we read this- i would have probably never even known about it otherwise and it was a really good story.

after much diliberation

I have finally chosen...

Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe.

I'm sure some of you may have read it, If there are any objections to this one let me know and I can pick another book instead. But I am fascinated to read a novel that is regarded as the first novel written in the English language. It's kind of on the same wave-length as Captain Blood, well at least as for as I know. Sorry for the redundancy, but I think we'll like it.

anyways let me know if this works for you ladies.
