Well another Fantastic Night!! So much fun!!
This month we read two books. We wanted to read Twilight as we are going to see the film on the 19th of December when it comes out. There were a few of us though who had already read this book and so we decided to read the Host, another fantastic book by Stephenie Meyer.
So I think that by saying Lucy made heart cakes with little flags on them that say I LOVE EDWARD would sum up the feeling of the book. We all LOVED IT!! In fact when we got there this month straight away we started talking about the book. We couldnt stop. We just kept talking and talking. I think most of us felt like young teenagers again. We loved that this book captivated you from the beginning. Once you started reading it you didnt want to put it down. You just wanted to keep reading. And even when the book was finished it makes you want more. At some points you could feel what the people were feeling because of the despcriptivness of the book. One person mentioned when James on on the phone to Bella. How this person almost felt like she was the one receiving the phone call. We loved it and we really cant wait to see the movie!! We have deicded to pass on having Shirts printed which say I (heart) Edward. Thought that might be going a little too far.
Synopsis: Journalist Hope Jensen is devastated when her adoptive mother dies from ovarian cancer shortly after Christmas. Adding to her woes, her apartment is broken into and all of her emergency cash stolen. Hope then discovers that someone has left her a gift-a glass mason jar labeled "Christmas Jar," filled with money. Using her investigative skills, she learns that in recent years, several people have reported receiving these mysterious jars in times of need. Hope's search leads her to the Maxwell family and their generous Christmas tradition-and to some truths about her birth mother. In the tradition of Catherine Ryan Hyde's Pay It Forward, Wright's holiday novel could inspire others to Christmas generosity.
Some of the women have already been reading this and have advised not to read it while sitting at your desk at lunch as the tears will flow. I have read this story in the past and I Love It!!
The next book club meeting is on the 17th of December. Same time same place! be there or be square!!
Next month we are reading Christmas Jars by Jason F Wright (Hello Jason!! Thanks for all the lovely comments!!To say we are flattered would be an understatement!)
