Wait Listed...

Or rather book listed.

Ok, ladies here is the official HBG Book List for the next six months. If you have a problem with it, duke it out among yourself, you chose these books!

HBG Book List

2008- 2009
October-- Water for Elephants by Sarah Gruen
(Host: Miranda Marrott)

November-- A Train to Potevka by Mike Ramsdell
(Hostess: Michelle Nelson)

December-- Gone With The Wind by Margaret Mitchell
January-- Gone With The Wind by Margaret Mitchell
(Hostess: Melissa Howard)

February-- Bright Sword of Ireland by Juilene Osborne-McKnight
(Hostess: Traci Urquhart)

March-- A Book of a Thousand Days by Shannon Hale
(Hostess: Kari Clark)


Yes, you may have noticed that if it your book suggestion, you get to play hostess with the mostest. What does that mean? Simply that you get to lead the discussion and it comes with the added benefit of being able to set the date for the online skype chat!

So, everyone excited? or at least content? I'd rather hear excitement. Also, I'm not sure if you are burrowers or buyers, but you can get Water for Elephants for $8.37 on Amazon right now, just a tip.

Here are some other thoughts I had on fun reads for the club (hehehe, we are a club! does anyone else feel 10 years old? maybe we should meet in my kids play house?):
The Heretic’s Daughter by Kathleen Kent
The Lace Reader by Brunonia Barry
Sinner’s and Social Workers by Norah S. Bernard

Let me know what you think and please, keep sending in your suggestions! I can't be held responsible for all the book picks, it's too much anxiety for me!

Hope everyone has a great week, so excited to start reading and sharing!

Books, Books, Books

I've gotten several responses that you ladies are interested, but I've only gotten a few book suggestions.  Please let me know what you want to read!!!

October book....  drum role please....

WATER FOR ELEPHANTS by Sarah Gruen

Head to the library and start reading.  I'll make a post for this book on October 20th where you can post your comments and discussion comments or questions.  The tentative date for the live Skype chat is Saturday, October 25th (I'll have to work out when the best time for this will be to accommodate everyone).

Thanks for the encouragement and support ladies.  Keep sending in your ideas for books and I'll hopefully have at least a 6 month list coming out in November.  Looking forward to reading, chatting and sharing with you all.

Calling all Hot Book Geeks

I'm doing it.  I'm tired of missing out.  I am starting my own book club.  

My hubby's schedule has prevented me from attending library and various other book clubs, but no more!

What:  A virtual book club

Who:  is invited?  Everyone who loves to read, to talk about reading, to dream about reading, who reads while eating, who reads while driving, who reads while cleaning...  Get the picture?

When:  Starting in October

Where:  Once a month we will meet via Skype for a live online chat about the current read.  Also you will be able to post comments about the read on this blog!!

Why:  Because READING IS HOT!

Share my love of literature?  Join me and let me know what books you think we should read.

Look for more updates coming soon (book list and chat days).  Hope to see you around!
