March's Book (Revised)

The book for March has been changed to Not Without Hope by Nick Schuyler and Jeré Longman. If you don't remember this story, it happened about a year ago. You can see the story here:

This should be a great read.

Chosen By A Horse by Susan Richards

(Sorry, we forgot to take the photo when everyone was there! We're missing Shana & Jenny!)

Tonight we met to discuss:
Chosen by Shana! We were all so happy to be there:
haha just kidding, Milo WAS happy to hang out with all the ladies! The majority of the group, except for Shana who actually owns horses, never really thought much about horses until this book. A few admitted that they weren't exactly excited to read it but ended up LOVING it. We loved the relationship she had with her horses especially with Lay Me Down. We all agreed that we cried at the end (SPOILER ALERT) when she has to put Lay Me Down, down and then the reaction from Hot Shot. There were also some pretty funny parts. Biggest lesson learned: Horses ARE pets and have personalities. We would recommend it, most definitely, and don't judge a book by the section it's found in. :) (this one can be found in the pets section) Another successful meeting! Here are some shots from the night!

Broccoli soup! MMM!

Salsa!

awww sleepy little guy!

March's book...

Chelsea ALLrED here...I felt like since I picked the book, I should at least give Chelsea ALBERT a break and write the post! SURPRISE Chels!
The book I picked for this month is The Inferno by Dante Alighieri.

Who else is excited to read about hell? I'm way intrigued!

Here is what MY book looks like. I got it at Barnes and Noble.

The other cover I came across looks like this....

I hear it's a hard book to get through, but I think it will be a very interesting read!

MockingJay

I am pleased to say, the third book in the Hunger Games series has a release date!! If you haven't started the series, you MUST. They are fabulous books! I got the following from USA Today:

"Since the September release of Catching Fire, the second in Suzanne Collins' best-selling Hunger Games trilogy for teens, Internet speculation has focused on the title of the third book. The most common guess: The Victors. Not even close. Today, Scholastic reveals the title and cover of the last book in the series set in a dictatorship where teens are forced to fight to the death on TV. It's Mockingjay, out Aug. 24. In the series, mockingjays are offspring of mockingbirds and jabberjays, a government-bred mutant designed to spy on rebels. Mockingjays become symbols of resistance. Collins is finishing her screenplay of The Hunger Games, the first book. Catching Fire entered USA TODAY's Best-Selling Books list at No. 1."

August 24th people... mark your calendars!

Happy Valentine's Day!

I've never been the type of gal to enjoy a steamy romance novel. Laugh immaturely at the different ways to describe a "love" scene? Sure! But never something that goes under my pillow á la Rachel Green from friends. (LOVE that episode haha)

In honor of this Love day, I thought I would just list the Love stories we've read for book club.

Twilight (let's face it, its about love)

Sunday's at Tiffany's

Nights in Rodanthe

The Time Traveler's Wife

I guess we haven't read too many!
