The Pioneer Woman
Hey all!
We have a date for the next book club, so here it is-
Sat, July 30th
6:30 pm
@ Cathy Barber's house
22350 sw stafford rd.
tualatin, OR 97062
Special note- we've run through allllllllmost everyone (coughcoughSharonNewmancoughcough) for book club picks, so this time everyone's name goes back in the hat! PLEASE be prepared with an idea for your choice- that way, we can announce it at the drawing, I can get the post up faster, everyone can get the book, and we can meet closer to the once a month we originally intended.
Also, Tasha brought up a great idea that Stacy did once before- book lists. If you're interested, make a list of books that you've been meaning to read, books that you've heard good (or bad) things about, books that have blown your mind- whatever! It would be great to use this blog to also dialogue about the things we're reading or to ask for recommendations, or whatever. If nothing else, it can serve as inspiration for anyone that doesn't have a pick.
Can't wait to see you all- Happy Reading!

Summer Reading
Hey everyone!
I have been unforgivably late posting this- sorry! We have a book picked for next month.
Keep your eyes peeled for...
Pioneer Woman: Black Heels and Tractor wheels- A Love Story
by Ree Drummond
I've heard it's cheap on Amazon, and should be up at the library. Have fun! We're thinking end of June, but I'll keep you posted.

Change of Plans!
*** EDIT*** Hey all! Quick announcement. For those of you that go to Colossae (quite a few of us!), we are now having a Good Friday service, so we're switching book club day (or else it'd be a sparse meeting!). New time is: Friday, Apr 29th, 7pm. Thanks so much to Courtney who made the switch so we could do both. Happy Reading!

Nine Stories
Hey all! How's everyone doing with our friend J.D.? Courtney's got a date in mind for the next meeting! Keep your calendars open on... Friday, April 22nd 7pmish. I'll post a reminder with her address later, as we get closer. Let us know if you can make it so we have a head count idea!

MARCH!
Hey all!
As promised, though a few days late, is the March and April pick. Courtesy of Courtney, we will be reading....
9 Stories by J.D. Salinger!
I'm particularly excited because it's a new genre for us (short stories) and because Salinger is... well... unique.
So the only bad news is that, so far as I can tell, it isn't at the library- at all. I haven't figured out yet if the same short stories are in a different collection (which might be the case), so it might be available in a different grouping. I found used copies for as cheap as $3 at Amazon, so one way or the other, it shouldn't be a problem getting it.
Please remember- we're working towards getting back to the 6 week marker so we meet a loittle less sporadically. We'll let you know about dates and stuff as soon as it's set.
