First book Club Meeting

Hello everyone, Firstly let me start by saying that was so much fun!! Tonight we had our first book club meeting and it was a really great evening. We talked about books we had read ones we would like to read and decided on a book to read for the next month. The book we have chosen for this month is The Wednesday Letters By Jason F Wright.

Synopsis: "The Wednesday Letters is a heartwarming story that explores the true meaning of devotion and forgiveness. It begins with the death of Jack and Laurel Cooper who, after 39 years of marriage, die in each other’s arms in the suite of the bed and breakfast they owned and ran. But the tale of these incredible people doesn’t end there.

Following their parents’ tragic deaths, Jack and Laurel’s three adult children, Matthew, Samantha and Malcolm, return to the B&B to make funeral arrangements and to sort out their parents’ things — and their own troubled lives.

After a complicated reunion, the siblings are brought together by an amazing discovery: thousands of letters their father wrote to their mother every Wednesday from the day of their marriage until the day of their deaths. As they read about the joys and sorrows of a long marriage, it’s as though the three are meeting their parents for the first time. Then, they uncover a secret that changes everything they thought they knew about their family.

Don’t miss this moving reminder that, even in this digital age, the written word still holds power."

We have decided the Last Wednesday of every month is the best time to meet. The next book club meeting will be on the 29th of October at 7:30 pm at Emma's house again. We have also decided to have a recipe exchange at the same time. We had some really Yummy Desserts this week and Next month will be the same. So come along enjoy the company, the conversation and some fantastic food I know I sure did this time and cant wait until next month!!

ENJOY THE READ!!

First Club Meeting

Hello everyone we have finally got a date for the first book club as well as a place and time. So our first club meeting will be at Emma Scott's house. If you are unsure where Emma lives let me know and I can give you an address via email. We will start at 7:30 and we will only last an hour or so (depending on how much we talk ;)  ) This will be on Thursday the 25th of September. As we are not reading anything right now we will decide what everyone wants to read and I will give some ideas of where to get books for way cheap. If you will please bring an idea of a book that you would like to share with the book club, you can either bring this in your mind or a physical book, we will then each say a little about the book we have brought or the suggestion for the club to read and we will then either vote or choose a book title out of a hat (fictitious of course). Also if everyone would either make and easy dish for us to taste or buy something from the store that would be great. Obviously this is only if you want to but I think it would be really fun for us to have lovely refreshment. If you make something will you please bring the recipe for everyone to have if you bring enough for about 10 people that would be GREAT!!  We will also discuss what days are best for everyone. So if Thursdays are not good for you in the future we will try to get the dates changed to accommodate for everyone. Can you please email me and let me know if you will be there or ring whatever is most convenient my email is amwhitfield@gmail.com

I look forward to seeing you all there!! This is going to be a BLAST!xx

Dates

Hello all!! I have been trying to find the perfect date for the first Book Club meeting and it is looking like maybe the 24th of September is the best. It is a Wednesday evening. We have a location for the meeting (Thanks Emma) but just need to get a firm date set. So If you can email me or comment on the blog to let me know what you think I would really appreciate it. email is amwhitfield@gmail.com It is also looking like the best night for the book club is on Wednesdays. A lot of people have commitments on the Thursday. So does Wednesdays work for you all? Let me know what you think. And like I said before just because Twilight is up as what we are currently reading doesn't mean it is. I just put that there for an example for now. Cant wait to hear from you all!! xx
