Attendees: Addie, Christopher, Heather, Lisa K., Rhonda, & Valesca with appearances from Anderson and Nathan.
When Christopher and I got there it was only Lisa and Rhonda. We talked about baby stuff and passed Anderson around. Then we discussed The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo series and what we liked about the books. We all liked the three of them and found it hard to remember exactly what was in one book versus another. It was mentioned how we were a little sad when the last book was finished because we knew that there would not be anymore of the story. Addie came around this time and Christopher and I had to leave to take care of the little ones :(
Valesca showed up later and it sounds like more was discussed about the Dragon Tattoo books. I believe that only Lisa read One Day. Rhonda and I are both reading it now and are enjoying it. I find that it is a little like When Harry Met Sally.
The next book that we will be reading is Full Dark, No Stars by Stephen King Christopher was thrilled to hear that we picked a Stephen King book because he loves him!
Next book club will be on Tuesday December 28th at Rhonda's house.
Rhonda, if any of this is wrong please let the rest of the group know :)

The books that we will be discussing are One Day by David Nicholls and The Girl Who Played With Fire by Stieg Larsson
Looking forward to seeing everyone at 7pm and Rhonda's house!

Book Club Recap 9/28/10
Attendees: Callah, Christopher, Denise, Heather, Lisa K, Michelle, Raven, Rhonda, and a special guest appearance by Addie!
The first book that we talked about was The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. Everyone in the group really enjoyed this book and many of the other members had read the next book or the whole series. We were debating about which book we thought was the best and it seemed like #3 might be the best? We also discussed how the author died after he turned in all three manuscripts and how it is claimed that his girlfriend found a fourth manuscript on his computer and how there is a legal battle going on between the family and the girlfriend over it.
Next we discussed Mockingjay, which was the third and final book of the Hunger Games. Everyone who read this book liked it, but it wasn't the favorite out of the three. We definitely thought that this book was darker than the rest of them. I won't say much else about what we talked about just incase someone on here isn't done and wants to read it.
Christopher and Nathan left and Denise and Addie arrived. Since Denise had read some of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and watched the movie and Addie read the book we discussed the book some more. We all talked about how we loved that the author portrayed a really strong female character and we all really liked Lisbeth. Most of us had seen the movie and we thought that the casting of Lisbeth was spot-on to how she was described in the book. The conversation about this book was a little hard to do because others wanted to talk about stuff that was going on in book 2 and 3, but Denise didn't want to hear anything (I am in the middle of book 2). Then there were some big differences between the book and movie, so we told Denise that she has to finish reading the book and we didn't discuss the differences so as not to ruin that either. I can't remember much else...
Denise was a little obsessed with her phone because she just got a new one and was trying to figure it out. There was one point where I am pretty sure her and Addie were texting each other and they were sitting right next to each other! Rhonda also got out her iPad. There was also Kindle talk. There was also some baby and pregnancy talk because I am due in three weeks and Lisa is due in about three months. After most people left we watched Dancing With the Stars to see some of Addie's friends perform and we weren't too impressed and I couldn't believe how much they drag out the results show. Cooper showed up with a big basket of cookies and we all got to take some home :)
We decided on two books for the next book club! We will be reading One Day by David Nicholls and The Girl Who Played With Fire by Stieg Larsson
Book club will be on Tuesday November 9th at 7pm at Rhonda's house. I should have had baby #2 by then and if I am up for it I will be there with the little one.
Speaking of the little one Christopher and I have a baby pool going. If you feel like participating please do! We have the prize as some Oktoberfest beer that Christopher brewed, but for our members your prize could be the book that we choose for the book club after November (if you don't want the beer).

Book Club Recap 8/3/10
Attendees: Callah, Christopher, Denise, Heather, Nathan, Randy (I think that was Raven's friends name), Raven, Rhonda, & Tina.
The only ones that were at book club that read the book were Callah and Rhonda. Callah didn't like the book and Rhonda did like it. They didn't talk about it because I will still try and read it and they had already discussed it amongst themselves. Julie B. said that she didn't care for it in an email and I know that Lisa I. read it, but I don't know if she liked it or not...if she didn't like it then I might have to not read it!
We talked about Rhonda's white chicken and how it might be a rooster :(! I guess that around 6am it sounds like it is cock-a-doodling, which isn't a good thing. We hope that it isn't going to be a rooster! We talked about Raven and Randy's internship and working in the costume and design business. Denise told us that she did the whole Bulldog, which is very impressive! She will do it a couple more times before the big race. Callah had her 98 year old Grandma make a Pecan Pie for book club and it was delicious!
We talked about other things, but I can't remember what about, but it was very fun!
Our next book club will be on Tuesday September 21, 2010 at 7pm at Rhonda's house. The book that we will be reading is The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larson http://www.amazon.com/Girl-Dragon-Tattoo-Stieg-Larsson/dp/0307454541/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1281221130&sr=8-1 Also, since so many of us have pre-ordered the book Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins (comes out 8/24), which is the third book in the Hunger Games trilogy we figured that we could talk about this book too.
We hope that we will get to see more of our members at the next book club! This will probably also be my last book club pregnant, then we should have a new little member :)
