Read fast, and pass it on!

Joyce has been so kind as to purchase a few copies of this month's book (A Widow's Story) since it was not available at the library.  So, if you have a copy of the book, please don't delay your reading of it so that it can be passed to someone else in the group quickly.  We want as many people as possible to read it before our discussion.

Book for January

This is from Tanya:

For January's discussion - I would like everyone to knock off as much as they can of Jesus the Christ starting at the beginning but we will cover for our discussion - Chaps 1 - 17. (through page 232). I realize that it's a lot more difficult reading and we have an abbreviated discussion time. After reviewing the book tonight, I just had the impression that there was a reason James Talmage started where he did with the story and that we would be a disservice to some if we didn't start at the beginning. Then, with our whistles wet, if someone wants to continue and finish it on their own time, they will not have to go back and piece some of it back in front of where we started.

Who chooses the book next?

This is an updated list (4/11/2011) of the order in which we choose the book for the month. If you have a conflict for the month when it's your turn, call Keri and see if you can switch with someone.

Book for October

Hi ladies! There are several copies of "Embraced by the Light" at the library. We switched the order this month and Keri will be leading the discussion since Daneen is swamped with her move, etc.

Book for August

Hi all! Marie can't post to the blog yet, so asked me to add her book choice for next month. The book is Journey of a Thousand Miles: My Story, by Lang Lang, David Ritz.

Book for May

Okay, so after much indecision, I've finally decided on a book. Because of language, "The Glass Castle" has been nixed. It's a good book, though. I would highly recommend it on your own time. "The Little Princess" is one of my all time favorites, and I was surprised that so many of you hadn't read it. Yes, it is a children's book but it is wonderful. So, I would recommend that one also! I was thinking about a couple of others, but I finally settled on "A Lantern in Her Hand." It's an inspiring book and I think it will provide some good discussion. Not a difficult read. I might save that one for next time. :)
