All - Mickey had a good idea that I think she texted everyone about, but just in case you miss the text message, here it is via email/blog! :)
The night of our December Book Blub Meeting Theater Arlington is putting on a Christmas Musical at 7:30. Would you all be interested in going to the musical - maybe a quick bite to eat before hand - for our December meeting?
If so, let me or Mickey know so we can get the tickets and coordinate and what not.

Series Suggestion
Hi all - I know we haven't done anything like this before, but I am finishing up an awesome series of books on the side that I thought I would share about. I almost changed my book pick for my month to the first one in this series, but as I get through the entire thing, I realize it is really best read as a series. And since I know you all don't want me to pick FOUR books to read in one month (and I am still begging forgiveness for my last picks!) I thought I would just share them as suggestions for reading on the side.
The series is called the Legends of the Guardian - King series By: Karen Hannock. The books are as follows:
The Light of Eidon - Book 1
The Shadow Within - Book 2
Shadow Over Kiriath - Book 3
Return of the Guardian-King - Book 4
I am about half way through the 4th book. I honestly think the series doesn't start to get good until the end of the first book, but it is well worth the sluggish start. It is EXACTLY what I needed to be reading right now - almost like it was written specifically for me. And it has a pretty good love story (two actually!) which I always like! And it is very G, so nothing that would make you blush. :) It is a fantasy based theme - dragons and castles and kings and queens, "mythical creatures" and such. I know I am not using proper literary terms (sorry Katie!) but I hope you get the idea. I am not usually in to those kinds of things and that may be why it was hard to get going in the first book. Patrick actually convinced me to keep reading. So it may not be for you, but I thought I would share any ways.
Aside from our selections for this month, what have you been reading lately? We could always do some additional posts about other suggested readins or favorite books to add to our lists - you know for all that extra reading time we all have! :)
