Given UP?????????????

Hey everyone,

What is new? I have indeed given up on the book Little Brother. I found it hard to get into and to keep everything straight.

So...

How goes the book?
My mother finished reading it this past week, and I think her head was spinning a bit! How is everyone else doing? Has anyone given up on it yet?

Let me know how you are doing!

And we're off!

It was great to see old and new faces at our first book club meeting last evening. If you are a member from last year, please remember that you do need to register at the library for this year if you are intending on coming - you can do this online at www.londonpubliclibrary.ca/programs/

Our next meeting will be on October 21st at 7:30 pm, and our book for that evening will be Little Brother by Cory Doctorow. I've given out all of the books I had, but there are still other copies of the book in the system should you sign up for the program and still need one!

Also at our next meeting, we will have someone coming in to help us make hand-painted scarves, so start thinking creatively!

Don't forget, you can always post on this blog to let us know what you are reading, thinking about, or any questions you have.

See you all soon!

Lindsay

First Meeting Tomorrow!

Wow, it's gonna be another great year!
I'm so looking forward to seeing the new faces and the returning members tomorrow night.
We'll chat about the books we read over the summer, do some paper work, review how to make this blog thing work, and make a list of stuff we want to read!
I'll also hand out our book for October: Little Brother by Cory Doctorow. This book won the White Pine award from the Ontario Library Association this year, and it's really great!

See you all at 7:30 tomorrow.

Looking Forward to September 16

Hey Lindsay,

I can't wait to sign up on Sept 1. Read the 3 Willows The Sisterhood Continues. I really enjoyed this book. I also read My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult. It was my favourite. My Mom read it along with me. I can't wait till September 16 when book club officially starts back up again.


From Kara

Tons to say!

Hi everyone!

Hopefully you have all had a great summer!

I'm starting to plan all of the fall programs here at Masonville Library - including starting up this book club again! Registration for this program will start on September first - dont' forget to register both mom and daughter for the group! You can check out the program listings here.

We are going to read some great books this year, starting with a Canadian favourite of mine - "I Want to Go Home!" by Gordon Korman. There are tons of copies of this book in the library system, so go ahead and grab a copy today! We will discuss it at our first meeting on September 16th at 7:30 pm.

If you are looking for something to read in the mean time, I just finished reading "The Glassmaker's Daughter" by V. Briceland. It's new to the library, and quite a great book that I think both moms and daughters will enjoy.

See you in September!
Lindsay

Last Meeting Tonight!

Boo hoo hoo!

It is our last meeting for the session tonight from 7:30-8:30 pm. I hope to see you all here!
