Ready or Not...

Here I come!

I've always wanted to read this story of the ultimate "game" of hide and seek (so to speak.) I just ordered it in my son's Scholastic Book Order and I can't wait to begin reading this classic! Sorry if it's a repeat for anyone... but you can always read it again, right?

Let's chat!

When: Tuesday, May 24th

Where: Hitz Home (54-298 Hauula Homestead Rd. #A)

Who: All of you! Come whether or not you read :)

I will try to read it fast so I can loan my copy to anyone that needs to borrow it.

Annnnd I hope the date to "discuss" isn't too early... It's the last week of school for my kids, and then Memorial Day weekend and then we're off for the mainland. Soooo I hope it works!

it's time to pick up your glasses....

... because we're having book club again!!!

i know, the month ends in 10 days. that means we better get our read on.

it's a quick read. my niece says it rocks. and i want some light, entertaining reading.

WHEN: march 31

TIME: 8pm

WHERE: stef j.'s house

WHAT TO BRING: a snack to share

ps. if you don't get time to read it, you can either

watch the episode of the twilight zone it's similar to here,

or read a synopsis here.

peace.

hi! its me. the long lost book club. remember?.....bueller, bueller...?

hello friends

it appears to me that our book club has shriveled and died.

but i bet some of you have still been reading.

so lets hear about it.

what have you been reading during our 'break'?

who wants to jump back on the band wagon?

for me

Treasure Island -R L Stevenson

Hondo -Louis Lamour

A Wrinkle in Time (yeah i just barely got around it) - Madeleine L'Engle

The Scarlet Pimpernel - Baroness Emmuska Orczy

still mid read- Parenting with Love and Logic

next in line- Atlas Shrugged- Ayn Rand

lets start the new year off right

this is one of my favorite books of all time. i have read it a number of times and learn something new from it every single reading. i know this kind of book is a little out of the genre of stuff we usually read but i think it will improve our lives for the better. give it a chance.

i have one copy. steph is reading it now but will soon be done. she can pass it on to the next person to claim it. but really it might be one you would like to spend some money on so you can read and re-read it.

we will be meeting tuesday jan 25th 8pm at my (echo's) house. see you then!

Meeting

I wanted to know how everyone's reading is going? I actually got side tracked from Jane Eyre and started reading The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society on my weekend mainland trip without the keiki. That book is fantastic! If you are looking to find a good, fun, fast read, I highly recommend it.

Is it just me or is this month crazy? I am hoping things will slow down, but that does not look too promising. This doesn't mean, though, that I wouldn't love to get together with you ladies. We could just do some sort of ice cream night at my house and just sit around and talk story. How does that sound with everyone? What nights work for you all?

I hope everyone is enjoying this holiday season. Happy Christmas, friends!

What A Crazy Book Society We Are

So, in the midst of Stephanie's crazy blood clot illness, Liko's full-time job, my Bookmobile getting up and running, Echo's pregnancy and running a million miles, and Stef J.'s throwing up sessions, (amongst other things with our other members too!) we all still belong to a BOOK CLUB! And I haven't forgot (thanks Echo for the friendly reminder...:)) that it's my month to pick a book, even though the month is way more than half-way over. Like the rest of you, I'm sure, I've just been plowing my way through this crazy time of life, without looking up and taking a breath. Just trying to get through the territory. But today it stops. At least for a minute. So on this Friday afternoon, after working all morning and, in a few short minutes, will be bombarded with taking on my five niece and nephews for a sleepover, I am taking a short breather and am attempting to write down a book to enjoy this holiday season. My pick for this month is...

JANE EYRE

Because it's Christmastime, and I always read this book during Christmastime. Please enjoy this novel. I love it. It's a delicious read. Those clever Bronte sisters: love them and their depressing selves. I'm being serious, though. I really do love them.

More than anything, I'm thinking we just need to get together this month, all of us over here, and enjoy some relaxation and conversation. Can't wait to see you all.

I hear my niece and nephews just now, so I'd better sign off. Take care and enjoy the weekend.
