Hello Ladies!
Posted by Julie :)
Reminder that the first book club of the year is coming up at Connie's!
If you have not picked up a copy there is still time and a new copy back at the library- mine- which sadly I had for over a week before I realized their is just no way I will read it in time...SORRY Connie!!....
So better to get it back to the library for someone else to read :)
Please let Connie know if you will make it- she will send an email about the time etc.
New book club members?????
For anyone who has a friend who wants to join book club, please send me their info
Name, B-day and email address

site
so they can get or reserve a copy of

The Pillars of the Earth
because really, April is just a few weeks away
and 1026 pages is not light reading.
..it is heavy...
although the paperback version slims that
page total to 976
which is more like light reading...
But don't be intimidated by this monster book-
it is said to be a fantastic book and everyone I have come across that has read it loved it!
Not as much as they loved say....
The Sound and the Fury....
but pretty darn close!!!
Thanks to Kristen 
, who is always challening us
, who is always challening usto step outside our comfort zone
in reading and who is hosting this particular book via satelite from Texas!
Yee Haw!
I had to post this picture since it one of many great pictures of Kristen - and we miss her smiling face :)
XOXO

Alright, my friend Kathy would love to join the book club. When it is her turn to host, she can have it at my house. All in favor say "aye". Her last name is Bennett, and her birthday is:
10/22.
"Aye"
And next time it is Kristen's pick could we please not tell her??? Or maybe give her a page limit on her picks???
All in favor say "Aye"!!!
(Kidding Kristen!)
Hi Ladies,
as you know, I started the Pillars of the Earth before K picked it. I am so pround to say that I have finished it (two days ago) and it really is so worth ready. It is certainly an investment of your time. I would also recommend not skimming it as there are nuggets of important info in paragraphs you might not expect. I am looking forward to discussing it so I hope a few of you read it.
I'm off to the Library to pick up Connie's pick and will barrel through it this week and voe to get it read. :)
Also - my one friend Carrie might want to drop in our club if she can switch out of her night shifts (she is a nurse and works every Friday, Saturday nights - overnight. So if she is able to switch her shifts she will let me know. She is an advid reader and my dearest - longest friend that I have in Illinois. I don't know if this group has met her yet, as she is always working when we have parties and bookclub. You ladies will love her.
Great job finishing the book Col! I am so thrilled that someone finished it already. I am just finishing up Connies book and looking forward to starting it up. I am going into it thinking that doesn't matter how many pages there are, I am putting my best foot forward. Seriously, I am not picking this book to torchure all of you. Please just try to read it...and if it really turns out to be too much than at least you tried.
Thanks for the comments! I added Kathy to the list- same birthday as Colleen :) All these Scorpios!!
I promise to give the Pillars of the Earth my all! For anyone interested Ebay has lots of copies to bid/buy.
