August book group meeting

Becky, Mary, Amanda, DeDe, Terese and Dulsanna attended the August book group discussion. We discussed Mrs. Mike, a bit ahead on The Hunger Games (one of two October reads) and made plans for books to read through March 2013. Amanda had a Christmas book for November, Terese for January, DeDe for February, and Dulsanna for March! We are going to see if we can come up with another Pageturners to Go book choice for April. If anyone reads one off the list, send an email with your recommendation.

Check the 2012/2013 tab for the upcoming titles. Or scroll down the left side of this site to see the covers. September's book group place is still undecided. Let Dulsanna know if you would like to host on September 25.  You can post directly to this blog by emailing dulsanna.cpbookgroup@blogger.com. It's an easy way to post a title of a book you'd like to suggest, volunteer to host the discussion one month, etc.

UPDATE: PAINFUL NEWS...Dulsanna made a mistake with the recording!! SO sorry, especially to Renae : ( When I went to copy the discussion online, it was just a few seconds. I must have started and stopped it right away. After two successful recordings and uploads, I thought I had it down. Apparently not. If anyone wants to take time to send their comments on Mrs. Mike, you can email and they'll immediately post to the blog. I know I can't remember all that was said, and Renae would hear any thoughts from the discussion. Again, I apologize!

August book group tonight

The book group is tonight, and we will be discussing Mrs. Mike. You are invited to come even if you haven't read the book! If you can't make it, feel free to add your comments here and we'll add them to the discussion. You can check back in a few days and the recorded discussion will be posted here. I also saw this interesting article about the book here: http://www.oprah.com/omagazine/Mrs-Mike-Changed-My-Life/1
