February's Book

Hello everyone!

This month we are going to combine a ladies' night out and birthday celebration with our meeting on February 28th. We'll go out for a happy hour and then come back and talk about the book. So, hopefully everyone can make it!

The book I chose is Shades of Blue by Karen Kingsbury. It is her latest book that just came out in December.

More details to come, but I wanted to at least get the info out there. Have a great week!

The New Highly Anticipated Cuckoo's Nest Blog

We just finished our January meeting about an hour ago and after tucking my husband into bed I decided I needed to give this blogging thing a "go." And, just like you all said, it was really easy! I've arranged the settings so that I (Mary) am the administrator, but all of our book club ladies are permitted authors and contributers. I'll be the only one able to add authors; we can have up to 100.

I'm speaking for our entire cuckoo's nest clan when I say that this blog will now be the primary place of information for our book picks and meeting info, but so much more as well. Hopefully it will be a forum for all of us to share what we are currently reading through or have finished. You can share books you're dying to recommend or vent your criticisms. It's just another way for us to connect over books. I'm sure we'll have fun with it, and that's the whole reason the cuckoo's nest came to be, after all - a few women who love to read, and love to talk about what we're reading.
