In September we read two books, Flirting with Forty and Between, Georgia. The discussion for Flirting with Forty is taking place at Kim's blog, Wheaties2bk, and can be found here.
I think I was the only one to participate in that discussion. There is no reason you can't still swing by and leave your thoughts. I also wrote a general book review and impressions about Flirting with Forty on my blog here. I enjoyed Flirting with Forty very much and the discussion about women and happiness that ensued.
Now it is time to discuss Between, Georgia. I am hoping that we can have more of a discussion than we have in the past. I guess we all come to the book club for different reasons. Most of us come to get recommendations for new reads, and that is fine. But, I really enjoy the discussion part and that seems to have been lacking. In an effort to get more of a discussion going, I am going to host the discussion for Between in a little bit different way. I am going to post my review of the book and answer to one question my blog tonight at 7 PM central time. You are welcome to come joining the discussion live. Or stop by anytime and leave your thoughts. If you read Between and want to answer one of the other questions, I am encouraging you to write a blog post on your blog, give your general thoughts about the book and/or answer one of the questions from the back of the book. I will link to all the people who participate in the discussion on my post, just let me know in the comments or via an email. If you haven't read the book you are still welcome to participate, my discussion question tonight will be on the topic of nature vs. nurture. Something we all have an opinion about.
We also need to pick a book for October, oops a little late notice. Send me an email, leave me a comment, let me know your recommendations for books to read in October. I will also be putting up a new pick a book poll tonight during our discussion. The poll will be open and submissions allowed until everyone has had a chance to participate.
Poor yourself a glass of wine, grab some munchies and let's get together and have a live book club tonight.
Sorry for the late notice, I realize that I will most likely be on my own. Next month we will have more notice and I know that all of you have plans on Friday nights.
Did I tell you there would be prizes? Anyone who stops by and leaves a comment on the Between, Georgia post tonight between 7 -9 PM tonight is eligible to win a used copy of either Between, Georgia or Flirting with Forty your choice. I will mail you my copy. See you tonight.
I Think I May Have A Screw Loose

I saw my podiatrist yesterday. One part of my foot is still hurting (it's
been almost two months since the surgery). He thinks it may be one of the
screws ...

I will be driving to the lake during the discussion time. :( I haven't read FW40 yet, but it's next on my list. I'm still reading The World Without Us.
No worries, Lorelei, come by and add your 2 cents when you get a chance.
I'm here but have not read the book
