Book Clubs

What an exciting day we had! Today was the first meeting of our book clubs and I was so impressed with how well prepared you all were. The discussion directors had a a really hard task, and they all had thought-provoking questions that led to big discussions. I think everyone really enjoyed the experience of sharing their ideas and opinions about the books they were reading,. I can't wait to do it it again tomorrow!!!

PS Here are all 5 books we are reading:

Rules by Cynthia Lord ( I read this one a few years ago and really enjoyed it!)

Drums, Girls and Dangerous Pie (by Jordan Sonnenblick just finished this one tonight, quite the tear jerker!)

Found by Margaret Peterson Haddix (I am hoping to start this one tonight - look like an awesome sci-fi mystery!)

Alexandria of Africa by Eric Walters (The one I would have chosen if I got to pick a book for book club, can't wait to read it when you are finished!)

Hurt Go Happy by Ginny Rorby (I was sad that I didn't get to read this one right away either since all 6 copies were taken - from what I gather, this too is very emotional)

Today's awesomeness.... Drum roll please....

Book Clubs!

What could be better than getting together with friends to discuss a great book you have read? It is a great opportunity to get a deeper understanding of the text, appreciate other peoples points of view and maybe even learn something about yourself along the way. AWESOME!

PS Bet you saw that one coming!
