Holy smokes, "The Pillars of the Earth" is quite a read. We'll be lucky to get through it on time. Didn't realise when I suggested it, that it is huge.
So the discussion on Clan of the Cave Bear went very well. Nice and cosy at Coffee Lodge Exmouth. Thanks for having us Donna and thanks for the treats Carol.
So next we will be meeting for dinner at John's on the 8th of December. We will have dinner, discussion, then those who are interested will continue on to Lola's or Limbo for some 'tarminis'. I can't remember if we decided on a venue for the 'tar-meanies'. (Catherine, did we decide?)
Then on the 16th, over to Carol's on Maria Street for munchies and a movie. "The Secret Life of Bees" will not be out in video by then (asked at Rogers) so we will need some ideas for something to watch.
By then we should know everything there is to know about cathedral building in the 1100's, King Stephen and Empress Maud.
See you then.
Oh well, next month is a nice small book.

No "Bees" for us.
Don't be heading off to the theatre on Monday night as it looks as if the movie we want isn't showing in Sarnia. I looked in the Observer and there is a half page review of the "Secret Life of Bees", however there is no listing for it at the cineplex.com site.
Hopefully someone at the theatre will realise that it would be worth their while to show this movie and bring it in. I can't believe they are showing drivel like 'Beverly Hills Chihuahua' and not "The Secret Life of Bees". If it doesn't end up here, perhaps it will be out on DVD in time for us to watch it at Christmas.
So we had a lovely time at John's on Monday night. Everyone liked the book. Donna was missing as she was doing an east coast Thanksgiving with her family. Welcome to Nicole, a Finch regular who was full of great ideas and contributed a lot to the discussion.
-I picked up a second hand copy of "The Clan of the Cave Bear". Let me know if you want it.
-The name of the book we were talking about is"The Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood".
So the next time we meet is Tuesday at Mall Road library at 7 pm. ( Could you pick me up Catherine?) Our next discussion is on November 1oth, hopefully at Coffee Lodge Exmouth. I'll let you know if anything changes. We are getting some carpeting in at Finch, so it should be a lot quieter next time we are there.
The picture of the bag of books is from when Julie and I were liking the idea of calling ourselves the BAG ladies, Book Appreciation Group. Does anyone know where the quotation, "On pleasure bent again" comes from?

October already!
September's meeting was very nice, we managed to grab some of the upholstered chairs at CL Finch so we were very comfortable. "Persuasion" was such a good book, made for a great discussion .
I don't think we mentioned venue for October's meeting at the last meeting, let's meet at John's for supper at 6 pm with discussion at 7 on the 14th (I think it is)(The day after Thanksgiving). As mentioned previously, we will be discussing 'The Secret Life of Bees" by Sue Monk Kidd. For those who are interested, there is the discussion of the same book at Mall Rd. library on the last Tuesday of the month. I'm planning on going as is Catherine I believe. The movie is coming out on the 18th, it looks wonderful, Queen Latifah and Jennifer Hudson are in it. Is anyone interested in going to see it?
Jetsetter Donna will be away again, but I believe Meg (and sister Nicole?) will be joining us (for supper too I think!). A regular customer at the store has been reading the book and has said that she will be at the meeting. It will be nice to have someone new join us. Her name is Nicole as well.
We will be reading "Clan of the Cave Bear" by Jean Auel in November. Perhaps we can talk Donna into having us at her store for a change? Much cosier and quieter there. I've strayed from the reading list. Can anyone think of anything Christmassy or uplifting for December? Preferably with a good movie that we can get together to watch. We'll talk about it on the 14th.
See you then, Happy Thanksgiving.

Third Year Anniversary
We celebrate the beginning of our third year this September by discussing "Persuasion" by Jane Austen. As a number of people will be away, we will meet on September 15th instead of the second Monday. We'll meet at Coffee Lodge Finch at 7.
Changing things up a bit for October. I thought we could attend a different book club meeting to find out how things are done elsewhere. I spoke to the lady in charge of the book group at Mall Road library. She said that they would be discussing "The Secret Life of Bees" by Sue Monk Kidd on the last Tuesday of the month. She loaned me a copy of the book and it is excellent. She said the date might change as she might be going out of town, she would call me if it changed. I didn't think that would work too well for us, particularly as I have since noticed that the library is advertising an author book reading and signing for that same night.
So, we will read that book and have our regular meeting on the second Monday. Then those of us who want to to go the library meeting at the end of the month can do that too. Covers all bases I think. There will be lots to talk about. So, no Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd in October.
I am really enjoying reading "Persuasion" again. We should have a lot to talk about then too.
Bon voyage to Donna who is travelling over the pond to England and Scotland. Happy trails to Catherine who should be back in time to tell us all about her character, "Louisa". Welcome home to Meg and Nicole from their out west odyssey. Meg, can you forward this to Nicole please? I thought I had an email address for her but can't find it anywhere. Thanks.

Enjoyed Mama Mia
Had a really nice time on July 20th. The usual suspects met for lunch at East Side Mario's and then went to see Mama Mia. We all enjoyed the movie, it was so funny.
Catherine and I decided to go back to see it again on cheap Tuesday. Got to the theatre and fortuitously found a good spot to park. We got into the theatre just as it started to pour rain. We were patting each other on the back for our good timing when we realised that the show was sold out. No problem, we decided to see the Batman movie since we were there anyway. Both those shows were sold out as well..........Sooo, if anyone is interested in seeing it again, we will try again tomorrow, cheap Tuesday one week later. The show is at 7.20.
The book we will be reading in August is titled, 'All Creatures Great and Small", NOT "All Things Bright and Beautiful" as previously mentioned. As the song goes, 'All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small" I thought for sure the order of the books would be the same. Foiled again. The first is " All Creatures Great and Small." We will will meet at John's Restaurant on August 11th at 6 pm. for supper or 7 pm. for the discussion .
Meg and Nicole are forsaking us once again, this time for a trip out west to see family. Their priorities seem to be messed up, first going to a Bon Jovi concert and now visiting family instead of book club!
Hope everyone is having a great summer! Take care.

Being lazy this summer.
-----
-----
So we read To 'Kill a Mockingbird' by Harper Lee in April (welcome Meg's sister Nicole), did a Book Circle in May (Gayle joined us) and discussed 'Watership Down' by Richard Adams in June. I really liked 'Watership Down' but it was not a favourite with everyone. I'm not sure Catherine understood it properly, she kept talking about transvestite bunnies!?! 'To Kill a Mockingbird' was wonderful of course so we got together in May to watch the movie.
We totally bailed on 'Sons and Lovers' (Lawrence) (supposed to have discussed in May) and will be ignoring Voltaire (July) in favour of a frivolous day out to see 'Mama Mia' the movie on July 20th . In August we will read and discuss 'All Things Bright and Beautiful' by James Herriott which is a lovely read but will not really tax our sun bedazzled brains.
Then it will be back to business with 'Persuasion' by Jane Austen in September then 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' by Robert Louis Stevenson in October. I am not sure of venues, will edit this blog after I look up details.
I will also add details of our Mama Mia plans. ......Beautiful Greek scenery, great music, C___ F____, P___B___. Can't wait!
See you soon.
August 11th ---All Things Bright and Beautiful ---James Herriott
September 8th ---Persuasion ---Jane Austen
October 12th ---Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde---Robert Louis Stevenson
November 10th ---Clan of the Cave Bear--Jean Auel

Looking Forward to "To Kill a Mockingbird"
Happy Spring everyone.............Yes it will be here shortly.
Hope you had a lovely trip to Cuba, Carol.
So the Hunchback went much as expected. We had a nice meal and a chat. Juli's comment, "I kind of thought that the Hunchback would not go so well...Hugo, though an amazing author, is not exactly an easy read.".....I thought that was well put, and know that we all agree.
Next month will be be much better. I have a sign up at the store about "To Kill a Mockingbird"and have heard a few of the customers talking about it. That will be at Coffee Lodge Exmouth, on April 14th. It is my youngest son's 19th birthday that night. We will be going out for a drink to celebrate (after our meeting of course) you are all welcome to join us.
My Bookcrossing plans have come to fruition.(like that word?) Many wonderful customers have brought bags of books in for me to display at the store. I am only putting out about 6 at a time for people to find. If you are ever without a book to read, come in and help yourselves.

Hunchback
I honestly remember reading this as a teenager and enjoying it. Things have really changed!
Do not kill yourselves reading this ladies, I really don't know that I am going to get through it myself. What hard work! Forgive me for choosing it.
I think Carol is going to be in Cuba, I know that Meg is forsaking us in favour of going to see a Bon Jovi concert. (what nerve)
We'll have a nice meal and a chat anyway. See you next Monday, the 10th.
PS. I rented 'Becoming Jane', Lorna was right, it is good and Anne Hathaway did a fine job.

Bookcrossing
"If you love your books, Let them go." - The New York Times
What is BookCrossing?
BookCrossing is the act of releasing books "into the wild" and then following their journeys and the lives they touch. www.bookcrossing.com is the website that makes it all possible.
Why BookCross?
If good karma isn't enough, then think about this: BookCrossing combines serendipity, adventure, altruism and literature in a unique mix. With its similarity to releasing messages in a bottle, or notes in helium balloons BookCrossing harkens back to fond childhood memories.
BookCrossing makes the whole world a library.
How does BookCrossing work?
Ever look at your bookshelf and see a book that you no longer have room for? BookCrossers see
those books as opportunities, and register them at www.bookcrossing.com. Each book registered on BookCrossing receives its very own BCID (BookCrossing ID number), which enables members to "tag and track" the book as it journeys through life. The book is labeled with BCID and site information, then left somewhere ("released") for someone else to find. People who find
("catch" in BookCrossing lingo) a wild book are invited to visit www.bookcrossing.com to see
where the book has been and what previous readers have thought about it. They can make an
entry about the book anonymously or join BookCrossing (it's free!) and track the book's future travels.
Book Crossing at Coffee Lodge
Bring your books in to Coffee Lodge, we'll register them and release them in the store
(or give them back to you so you can do your own release). We'll also give you access to the Coffee Lodge BookCrossing account so you can track your book once it is in "the wild".

Family Day?
Here is the latest edition of the reading list. Seems to change every month.
March 10th ---The Hunchback of Notre Dame ---Victor Hugo (John's Restaurant)
April 14th--- To Kill a Mockingbird--- Harper Lee (Coffee Lodge Exmouth)
May 12th ---Reading Circle(Bring whatever you are reading and tell us all about it)
June 9th ---Watership Down---Richard Adams
July 13th ---Day trip? To be Announced.
August 11th ---All Things Bright and Beautiful ---James Herriott
September 8th ---Persuasion ---Jane Austen
October 12th ---Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde---Robert Louis Stevenson
November 10th ---Clan of the Cave Bear--Jean Auel
December 8th---Beau Geste--P.C. Wren
January 2009---Peter Pan--Barrie
Meeting at Coffee Lodge Exmouth was a good idea, accoustics are much better there and we could hear very well. We enjoyed hearing about Carol's trip to Italy (thanks for the souvenirs Carol) and discussed 'The Dwelling Place' by Catherine Cookson.
Catherine will be ordering books for us. If anyone would like to order a book, please let her know 2 months in advance, she'll have it for you the month before we meet to discuss it.
The Book Keeper called to let me know that my special order of 4 copies of the 'Hunchback of Notre Dame' has arrived. Perhaps Meg and her sister would like one. I think everyone else is taken care of.
I was contacted by a very nice lady who is quite interested in Bookcrossing. She is also interested in helping me get the Finch store up and running as a Bookcrossing Hotspot. If anyone has books that you can part with to help us out, could you bring them to our meeting or drop them off at the store? We'll register them and 'release' them in the store or give them back to you to release anywhere you want. Thanks a lot.

Too much winter.
So "Anne (with an E) of Green Gables" went well. We were at John's Restaurant and had a delicious supper as always. Meg joined us for the discussion.
We are going to meet this month (11th) at Donna's store, 400 Exmouth at 7 pm. for a hot drink and to discuss "The Dwelling Place" by Catherine Cookson, one of my absolute favourites. Hopefully this Coffee Lodge will be more condusive to discussion as it has carpets and a dropped ceiling, might cut the noise.
Has anyone been watching the new Jane Austen programs? There is something different on tonight. (Sunday 3rd) I think it is called Miss Austen Regrets.
See you next Monday.
