Since our last entry was almost a year ago, I thought I'd add an entry!

We have read some incredible books throughout the years. I always look forward together each month. And I of course, look forward to planning when I'm hosting.

Here are a couple books I read this year that were not picks:

Learning To Breathe by Alison Wright. She is a world traveling photographer who gets into a near fatal accident and her journey back.

Don't Try This At Home by Kimberly Witherspoon. A collection of story stories from some of the world's best chefs, examples of what can go wrong will, even if you are a famous chef.

Let me know if you'd like to borrow either one of this books. See you all soon!

Gotta get back to reading this month's pick about Tepper!

Did I really figure this out?  Seems too easy.

February 2009 Book Pick - twilight

Our latest book pick is from Tina. We are reading Twilight by Stephenie Meyer (Author)

Also - Tina proposed Wednesday Feb 18th (instead of Thursday).

Location - TBD... will let you know closer to the date

Merla's invitation... for fun reference

Merla,
the high mistresses of the official GBC (girl book club) have
conferred and would like to formally, officially, respectfully, and
comically extend you and invitation to join our sacred and exclusive
circle of book reading and discussing that occurs each month, when the
moon is in whatever state it is in on the 3rd thursday of every month.

the following governance:
1. the first rule of book club is that you don't talk about book club
2. attend monthly meetings, partake in food and drink and general merriment
3. read the book selection of the month, and participate in debate and
conversation with a sharp and witty and thoughtful tongue
4. when it is your turn to choose a book, these are the said guidelines:
- book selections should not exceed 350 pages in length
- hardbacks are discouraged
- no one else in the circle has read your selection
5. have fun

it is our greatest desire that you shall find this news intriguing,
and respond in the affirmative.

If this is the case, our next meeting will be held 10/16, location
TBD. the book is "Better" by Atul Gawande

If you refuse our offer - you will not be allowed to read that book.

Archiving...

I will fill in our list of books that we have read over the weekend. This is awesome!

finally!

thank you andrea for getting us started!!!
how exciting.... too bad tina's working at Del Monte now, they certainly won't let her access the blog from work - which is when she would usually have time to list all our books, etc. we'll get it done eventually.
happy almost christmas - happy almost birthday Foster!

Hi All. 

This is our first attempt at our new BLOG for GBC. Hopefully we are all able to see the page, and we should all be able to post stuff too.

I am happy to start putting in our archival information, of if Tina wants to take a stab at it, that'd be great since you have all the information!
