Nightlight: A Parody
Hi all! I'm looking forward to Erin's house this week for "When You Reach Me". If you want to check into the next book it's titled, "Nightlight: A Parody" by Harvard Lampoon author's. We've not done a parody yet. We've talked about "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" on a few occasions but haven't actually done it. SOOO since many of us are Twilight fans I thought this little book would be quite enlightening, funny, and educational :), as far as parodies go. Just fyi a parody is a humorous or satirical imitation of a serious piece of literature or writing. Not sure how the world made vampires so serious but this little book seemed to think we've all gotten a little too caught up in Stephanie Meyer's imagination. I've got to read it again but I think it goes into the first two of her books plus "The Host".
I've got a copy that I'll be reading through again before I send it around. There are 6 copies in the consortium and two of them are at Nampa.
For our discussion I'd like to ask everyone to keep a little slip of paper handy (I'll give you one at Erin's house) and just jot down the page number, paragraph and sentence that refer's to something that you felt was making a point about...well, the culture of vampires, the world today, actors/actresses etc.
Happy Reading and "Long Live Bella, Jacob, and Edward!";)

March book
I want to get the word out about our book for next month. It's called "When You Reach Me" by Rebecca Stead. It's a very short, fast read (under 200 pages). I don't want to say too much, because it's better if you go in not knowing what to expect. It's a little mystery, a little sci-fi...very simple, but I liked it a lot.
Head to Erin's, second Thursday in March.

November
Hi there ladies.
We currently do not have anyone signed up to host bookclub for November. Would anyone like to volunteer? The November meeting is also when we pick which month to host next year.
For those of you who could not make it tonight, we missed you and hope to see you next month.
Sooo......who would like to volunteer? There was some talk of Sara hosting with a parenting book, Natalie was going to but the book has 200+ holds on it and she won't be able to attend in November, and mention of a pamphlet written by so called 'educators'. Please let the rest of us now ladies.
Hope you have a wonderful evening/day depending on when you're reading this.

It's Time To Get Together!
Hi ladies!
Hope you have enjoyed reading this months book 'Just One Look'! I read it again and loved it even more.
So come to my house on Thursday evening to enjoy some great company, great discussions, and great munchies!! Also please bring a photo from your past, you can be in it or not (might be easier if you were), you'll find out why later :) Also if you have a discussion question with you that would be awesome too.
I'm excited to see all your smiling faces on Thursday!
Have a FANTASTIC day!

Book For October
The book for October is 'Just One Look' by Harlan Coben
This is a mystery/thriller and it is AWESOME!! I thought it would be appropriate this time of year *wink* I don't like reading the inside cover of these types of books because sometimes it gives away the story. So...the premise of the story is Grace Lawson's life turns upside down because of a mysterious picture. If you like the kind of book that keeps you on the edge of your seat, you won't be disappointed. I chose this book because the mystery was FANTASTIC and I was not bombarded by sex and language.
Here are a couple of book reviews about it
"Harlan Coben is the modern master of the hook-and-twist - luring you in on the first page...only to shock you on the last." Dan Brown, author of The Da Vinci Code and The Lost Symbol
"The author doesn't build suspense. He opens fire." Daily News (New York)
There are plenty of copies at the library so no one should have an excuse not to get your hands on one. I have two copies with me, so let me know if you need a copy.
Happy Reading! :)
P.S. it is not a scary book (someone asked the question)
