The Evil Homework Assignment

As we will not see each other again for almost 2 months (yikes!), I thought we needed a little something to keep us talking through the Holiday Season. So here it is, the Evil Homework Assignment - who knew book clubs had homework?

1. Read as much as you can - that should be pretty easy!
2. Write about what you read. Where? Here, of course! Even if it is simply the title and author of the book you just finished reading (and whether or not anyone should bother reading it), put it here for people to read! I want to see something from everyone at least twice between now and January 14th.
3. The above statements apply to Mothers as well... and Librarians...

Let's show everyone all the great books out there!

Meeting Reminder - November 19

Hi Everyone:

Just a quick reminder that our next meeting is on November 19th - one week from today!
It will be our last meeting for 2008, and we will resume again on January 14th.

Hope everyone has finished or almost finished Elsewhere. Quite the book, huh? There will certainly be lots to talk about. Don't forget to bring your crocheting that you started last time to play with again.

See you soon!

City of Glass in the Catalogue

Hi everyone!

For those of you who read Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instruments series, book 3, City of Glass, is now available in the library catalogue.

The book will not be published until March, 2009, but if you get your name on the list now, you are sure to get it quickly once it's published!

If you haven't tried reading this series, it's definitely worth a go. The first title is City of Bones.

Note for parents: there is some kissing, and some scary scenes, but in content it is a mixture between Harry Potter, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Have fun and see you all soon!

New Invitees!

Hi everyone:

I have sent out blog invitations to our newest members, and also re-sent invitations to those of you who haven't signed up for this blog as of yet. Just follow the instructions in the email, and you will be ready to post in no time!

I'm about to go on vacation (Friday at 5 pm!!) so I won't be around the library for the last week of the month - check this blog often though, as I'm planning on reading A LOT during that week!

Also, if you are around this Saturday (October 25th), all of the library locations are celebrating Ontario Public Library Week (yipee!) and there will be lots of activities, and cake... yeah, you heard me, cake!!

Just remember, the fact that it's freezing outside simply means that you can stay in and read more, and not feel guilty!

TTFN

Meeting Number 2!

We are going to Crochet one row tonight and learn LOTS of new names!!!

This is just a test!

Meeting Reminder

Hi Everyone:

Just a quick reminder that we have our next book club meeting this coming Wednesday, October 15th at 7:30 pm. Make sure that you have finished reading Teen Idol - I'd hate to ruin the ending for you!

I will also be handing out our next book - Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin.

Please take some time and think about what other books we can read - we will need to choose our December title this week so I can arrange for books.

Have a very Happy Thanksgiving and I will see you all soon!

New Members!

Hi Everyone!

Please join me in welcoming Kara, Jenna, and their mother Vicky, as well as Roshni and her mother Krishna to our book club! That makes us a very lucky 13!

I can't wait to see all of you on October 15th to talk about Teel Idol by Meg Cabot. We will also have a quick lesson in blogging, and start learning how to crochet. It will be a blast!

See you all soon,
Lindsay
