Guernsey and Us

from page 51:

Once two members had read the same book, they could argue, which was our great delight. We read books, talked books, argued over books, and became dearer and dearer to one another. Other Islanders asked to join us, and our evenings together became bright, lively times--we could almost forget, now and then, the darkness outside. We still meet every fortnight.

I couldn't help but see the similarities. When I stop to think that 12 years ago you were all strangers to me, I'm really grateful that Jeana invited me to join.

Three Men In a Boat

Just curious about how bookgroup went last week. How did the discussion go? Did everyone enjoy the book? Anyone could answer these questions, because enquiring minds just have to know!
I hate it when I can't come!!
Our schedule at the MTC has changed a little so we will have to be involved there every other Thursday night or if we get new missionaries once in a while we could be there every Thursday night... It makes me very sad about my bookgroup attendance. Such is life I guess..
Hope everyone is doing well!

An Announcement

See here.

I've Lost It!

It's so funny that I'm the one who posted the initial FYI for the movie and then promptly forgot about the whole thing.

Awesome.

I think I'm definitely on track for several years of senility. Sigh.

Movie time

No one has posted the time for the movie and I had forgotten that I have to defend my thesis on Monday at 3:00, so it looks like I will not be going with you tomorrow. Sorry! If you reschedule for some reason, let me know!

I am plodding through Edgar. There are a lot of details I scratch my head over like why do we need to know who built the house? Will this be important later on?

Thanks Tiffianie; thanks Heather

Thanks, Tiffanie, for getting me signed on so I can actually make comments on the blog! I may yet make it into the 21st century.

Heather--loved your home, especially the walk-in pantry. (Next time I'll tale the tour to the library.)

I'm halfway through Edgar Sawtelle. It's a long read.

Rosalie

Movie Time

For those who can join us...

We are going to try and make it to "My Sister's Keeper" at Jordan Commons (in Sandy) on Monday June 29th. We don't have movie times yet, but we'll shoot for a matinee around noon.

Carpooling to Heather's house

Last year when we carpooled to Heather's we met at the Park and Ride lot at the 1600 North freeway entrance in Orem (near Home Depot). Should we just plan on meeting there again on Thursday? If we leave at 6:20 we should get to Heather's at about 7:00.

If you want to carpool, just leave a comment so we don't leave anyone behind. I'm liking the book and looking forward to treats at Heather's house. See everyone in a couple days.

June Book Group

Wherever we decide to go, let's set up a carpool. There's a possibility I won't be able to come--my daughter is having surgery on Tuesday.

Thanks to you all for being such a great group. I always enjoy spending time with you.

Charlotte

Laughter

For those of you who made it to Charlotte's house for book group...I have two things to say:

1. Pirates

2. Tomato Paste

Thanks for the laughs, ladies. We really do have the best book group EVER! (Oh...and the book was great, too.)

What a Woman!

I have to say that I am enjoying the book, Infidel.
Ayaan is so smart...I want to hear her speak and shake her hand!

The Queen's Fool

We will be meeting Thursday (April 23rd) at Rosalie's house to discuss "The Queen's Fool". Be there or be square. Oh...yeah, I'll be the square one. Sorry.

Collette is Graduating ... at last:)

Hello my book club friends. I gave all of your addresses to my daughter Shauna who sent out invitations to my graduation and graduation party. But, just to be safe, I decided to announce it here again. You are all invited to my convocation at 11:00 a.m. at the Marriott Center on Friday, April 24th. Additionally, my sister and children are having a dinner party for me that evening at 6:00 p.m. at the LDS church across from Krispy Kreme at about 1200 S and 400 W in Orem. Please let me know if you have any questions. I am thrilled about getting back to more regular attendance at book group; exercise; family dinners etc...:) I love all of you and appreciate the support of such a dynamic group of ladies.

This week's discussion

No conversation about this book. I am enjoying the story, but not loving it. I wonder how much is historically correct? Rosalie?

Ireland Tomorrow

Don't forget:

Ireland at Amy's Thursday night 7:30pm.

Come hungry.

A Little History of the History of LOve...

Here we are..

 last Thursday at Jeana's,

 dissecting the confusing relationships triangle...or maze of 

"The History of Love.  

Thumbs up or Thumbs down? 

Who's game for a second read on this one?

Ireland

March's book is Ireland by Frank Delaney. It's a fairly long book, so start reading! We will be meeting at my house in three short weeks.

The first story told by the storyteller in the book is about the Architect of Newgrange. I've been doing some research on the passage tomb and came across some amazing pictures. Click here. (There is a large gallery of images at the bottom of the page.)

I may post some other information about the book as I come across it. 

Enjoy!

The History of Love

I really had to push myself to get through this book! I know it just shows how dumb I really am..but I just kept getting so confused! I did finish it but I can't really say that I understand everything that happened!
