Book Club Meeting for February

Hi All -

Shaundra is hosting for February, but she has a scheduling conflict for the 17th (when our meeting is currently scheduled) and the 24th (the Thursday after that).  She wanted to know if we could move the meeting to the 15th (a Tuesday) instead.  Or, if the 15th doesn't work for the majority, would someone be willing to trade with Shaundra to host in February instead?

Just reply to this email to let me know and I will make sure everyone is updated on the plans.

Thanks!

Book for This Month

I did some additional "research" on the book I chose for this month and confirmed that it is available in print as well as dowloadable (to the Kindle at least).  Amazon even sells it in Hardcover, Paperback and audiobook! 

So hopefully everyone will be able to find it easily enough.  The book for this month is:  The Forgotten Gardern by Kate Morton.

I picked this book not only because I thought the story was interesting, but also because it is based loosely on Kate Morton's own grandmother's life.

I hope you all enjoy!  :)

Meeting Tomorrow Night

Thank you all for your understanding and allowing me to be a bit lazy!  :)

We will have the meeting at Rio Mambo at 6:30 (or whenever you can be there).  I can't seem to find the exact address anywhere - it is that new I guess! - but I can tell you it is in the brand new shopping center on the corner of Hardisty and Cooper - right by my neighborhood.  The basic directions are go South on Cooper from I-20 (just to give you some orientation about where on Cooper we are starting from).  You will pass Green Oaks and Sublett and the next light will be Hardisty.  You can either turn on to Hardisty and turn in to the shopping center at the Bagle Brothers shop and follow it down until you get to Rio Mambo OR you can drive a little further down Cooper until you get to the turn in to the shopping center from Cooper.  Take a left in to the shopping center and Rio Mambo will be right next to the big Horse statues and the fountain. 

I will go ahead and call ahead to let them know we are coming to have a table set up.  If they will let us a reserve something then I will.  The paper says they have some Margaritas on happy hour until 7:00 (not that I get to have any, but if you all wish to partake...) and that is about all I know of this place.  :)  Nothing like being adventurous!  :)

See you all there!

Meeting on Thursday

If it is ok with everyone, I would like to plead laziness and see if we can do our meeting at a restaurant this month instead of my house.  I have lots of excuses as to why this is easier for me (we don't have a dining room table because I broke ours! It's a "school night" for the boys and while I know we don't have to kick them out, it is hard to get any conversation going when they are around...And last but not least I am lazy!) but I don't want moving it to a restaurant to be inconvenient for anyone else either. 

I was thinking we could do it at that new Rio Mamba restaurant that just opened up by my house (its in the shopping center on the corner of Hardisty and Cooper street).  I have heard good thing about it and since it is relatively new still, it shouldn't be too busy.  Or if we are feeling a more "home cooking" vibe, then we could go to the Good Day Cafe (in the shopping center across from the Dollar General on Hardisty and Cooper).  Either way is fine by me.  But if you all would rather meet up at our house with no table and the likelihood that my children (the two youngest AND the adult one) might interrupt then that is ok by me as well.

Just let me know what works best.  Sorry for the last minute notice.....
