Sunday Wrap-Up

Again we have another poll and no firm answer. And since Catcher in the Rye and Great Gatsby are 2 of my favorite books, Grapes of Wrath wins for suckiest book.

Book club finally meets this friday. Lorena promises to make us some awesome goodies so I am excited!

On the less exciting front, I finished Harry Potter. Boo for being forced to read it!

Polls & Stuff

There was no clear winner of our last poll, therefore my answer wins! YA books rock! New poll up, I'll try to think of a weekly poll so let me know if you have a poll topic!

Books on the Brain (located in our links section!) is doing a giveaway on her blog through March 27th. Keeper and Kid is the book sounds good and she got a chance to interview the author onher blog so check it out!

I know I've already posted this but Emily has picked Water for Elephants as the next choice so if you are done with the current book and want to get ahead go for it!

Easter Hugs!

P.S. I just finished reading George Washington: Spymaster and I think it should be our next book!

Separated @ Birth?

If you didn't come to Idol night tonight, this is what you missed! Now you'll never get it!

Free Books

Many of the book blogs I subscribe to (shut up, I know I am a nerd!) often have book giveaways on their sites. I thought I would highlight some here for you if you guys are interested. Generally it involves leaving a comment on that person's blog or you have to give them your blood. Usually one or the other.


This first one is from Shakespeare Geek and he's giving away a copy of a The Book of Air and Shadows by Michael Gruber. It's a literary thriller with lots of good reviews. Check it out man!

A Few Notes

I was just adding some new books to my Shelfari account and I thought I'd mention it for those that I haven't forced to sign up for one already. It's a good way to track books that you've read, want to read, and even that you own so you know what you have! You can have friends on there to see what other people have read that like the same types of books as you and rate and review books. There are other sights similar to this, like GoodReads.com, but this is the one that I've been using and am happy with. I know other people might not want/need something like this but it's helpful for me to remember what I've read and especially what I want to read.

Also this week I sat in on a teacher book group in a high school and got some good recommendations. Has anyone read Mary Modern? or Devil in the White City? Those are on my list books I will read after May 1st!

Another one is kind of the girl version of My Bloody Life, A Piece of Cake by Cupcake Brown. I can't wait to read that either!

See you at book club, sorry for not finishing the book in a timely manner!

Attention Book Club Ho's

OK, so the new date for the book club meeting is:

FRIDAY - APRIL 4TH, 2008

The book is still The Alchemist. The dress code is still sweatpants and high heels. The location is still the ghetto/Lorena's house. The more people who come the more fun we will have, so PLEASE try and make it!

On another note - for those of you who still want some geeky fun this weekend, we will have a game night at Nicole's house at 7pm on Saturday night. Feel free to still wear your high heels and sweatpants if you want (Nick will be). Also, we will not be doing dinner, but if you want to bring a snack food to share that would be great!

Bad Blogger

So I've been a bad blogger but then you all have the ability to post too!

Book club this saturday! As previously stated we can meet up in FP between 5 and 5:30and commute together or just let me know and I'll pass on Lorena's address. You can probably find it on any bathroom stall anyway!

Emily's grabbed the April book club and has gone with Water for Elephants. I'll post on that whenever I have time and don't spend the evening looking up salaries of all the teachers I know.

So really, who exactly finished the book??? :-)
