Some notes from last week...

Hey girls!

Here are some of the books that got brought up in discussion last week... A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini (a follow-up to Kite Runner, about an Afghan experience through two female perspectives) and What is the What by Dave Eggers (about the Sudanese civil war and the "Lost Boys")

Also, the book following October's pick (The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse by Louise Erdrich) is Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller.

So, I've got Monday, October 6th at Heidi's place as the next book club meeting. I don't believe we set up November's time/date yet.

Happy reading...

Birchbark Books & Louise Erdrich

Hi everyone,
Thanks again for coming over this week, I really enjoyed having you all here. And merci beaucoup to Carrie for co-hosting and Amanda for jumping right in with those delicious cucumber sandwiches.

I have read the first two chapters of "The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse" and I think I might have to hide it from myself because otherwise I might not get any work done—instead just sit and read and read and read. I'm loving it so far!

We talked about whether we might be able to meet over at her bookshop for our discussion, so I called over there and the very nice woman said that there is not seating or space in the bookshop for us, but that there is a coffee shop/deli attached through a side door and that we could meet there. However, both the bookshop and the coffeeshop close at 6pm on weekdays and 5pm on weekends, so that might complicate matters for us going there as a group.
