New Year, New Books

Hello Everyone! Welcome to 2010!!

The list of books for this year are over on the right. The alternate reading list was updated as well, if you have a book for that, just let me know or post a review here and I'll add it. We had a couple of changes to the list after further thought, but I don't think it effects anyone's choices that wasn't in on the discussion.

This month's book is Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin. We will be meeting at Shauna's house.

Here's a few different things for this coming year..

• We are going to be trying out a monthly book exchange. If you have a book you've finished and enjoyed and either want to pass it along for good or just loan it out, bring it along each month. We will have stickers to place in the back saying who to return it to if it's just a loaner. If you have books you no longer want, bring those too and if no one picks them up, I will gather them up and take them down to the library for donation.
  

• Is everyone aware of Good Reads? www.goodreads.com is a fun and great (and free) way to review and keep track of your books and to keep track of what your friends are reading as well. We can even start our own group on there if we have enough people who want to do so! Make sure to check it out!
  

• Don't forget, you can always post a review or book suggestion or anything else you come across here! If you don't have author access, let me (Vanessa) know and I will fix that quick!

• After following a few other book clubby blogs (namely Exclusively Books and ShouldBeReading) I thought it might be fun to play along with some of their blog posts. In particulary Teaser Tuesdays (which I'll start this Tuesday) and maybe Friday Finds, which just means on Fridays, we post a book (or blog or magazine) we've heard about that we think others might enjoy.

• Next meeting we'll talk about a few other group endeavors, like group movie tickets purchases and a group Barnes and Noble Membership.

Happy Reading Everyone!!!!!
