June book group

Unless anyone has any great objections, our next book group will be Thursday, June 5 at 8 or 8:30. (Enrichment in our ward and Hannah's birthday is on Wednesday.) We will be discussing Fablehaven. I don't know yet about place. I'm guessing it will be at my place, but if things get crazy during the next few days I may change that. I'll update this once I'm sure about details (after we recover from Andrew's surgery tomorrow), but this way you can at least plan for which day.

Update: We will have it at my place at 8 pm. See you there!

I liked it!

Here's a fun book that was at our Elementary school Book Fair. I kept snitching other people's copies they had in their "I'm-going-to-buy-this-stack-of-books-eventually-but-I'm-not-done browsing-yet" piles and reading them. I finally had to check it out of the library so I could finish it.
I think it's charming.

May/June Bookgroup

Right now I'm thinking about having bookgroup on the first Wednesday or Thursday of June. If we have to, we might be able to do it the week before, but I'd really rather not because Andrew will be having surgery on his eyes that Wednesday. I'm not quite sure how crazy that will be. What do all of you think?

The Host

i've got this one, and i'll probably have it available for borrowing by the end of the week. i believe nanette has claimed 1st rights though - you can duke it out with her. :) Stephenie Meyer has put up the playlist for the book here. Looks like i'll have to make a mix CD...

i've spoken to two people who have finished the book. they both loved it.

Lots of Good News

i'm trying hard, as i know you all are, to be okay with the casting choices for the Twilight movie. There is a trailer for the movie here so you can have some help deciding if you want to actually go see it or not.



in other crazy and exciting news, LOOK WHAT JUST CAME OUT!

a new novel by beloved Gail Carson Levine, which you can buy here if you want to read it right away. She is the one who wrote Ella Enchanted, among other wonderful things.

also, i've finished Fablehaven, and I really really enjoyed it. Hope you all do, too! Do we have an official date for Bookclub, Rachel?

Airhead

this book isn't supposed to come out until the 13th but amazon sent them early so i already finished it and handed it off to Hannah.

1)It was way better than Jinx.

2)It's a fun premise, and one that made me think a lot.

3)I hate that she's doing sequels instead of making one long book, because JUST when it was getting really good, it ended.

and now we have to wait a year before we get any more. NOOOOO!

enjoy!
