Books for December, January, and February! And Christmas party stuff...

We had a great meeting in November. Thanks to all who were able to make it for the great conversation! We managed to choose our next 3 books, too, so it was also a very productive meeting.

December book: Skipping Christmas by John Grisham
January book: The Circle by Dave Eggers
February book: All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr

For the December meeting, PLEASE RSVP as soon as possible to let me know if you'll be making it so I can set up the gift exchange. Just shoot me an email. cowdenL@gmail.com

The book is: DISGRACE by J.M.

It was decided at our last meeting that we'd have a Christmas party just for the book club on December 13th, Sunday, at 17h00 at Isabelle's house in Beaulieu. We'll do a secret santa exchange, and names will be drawn for the game at our November meeting. (yay!) Even if you can't make the November meeting but do want to come to the December one, just send me that info via email and I'll make sure your name goes into the hat and that you get a name in return. And now we're soliciting suggestions for a book for the Christmas party! Please make sure it's holiday-themed and very SHORT, since most of us will be very busy during the season.

There are no lawyers or major crime in this one...but it's quite a fun read. Imagine...
