Well, are you reading yet?

You SHOULD be....for a variety of reasons:

1) The book is absolutely amazing
2) There's a month left until the meeting, and it is a bit long
3) It's engaging, compelling and extremely interesting
4) You should at least start reading so that you can be there
5) The book is fantastic
6) You need to be there (there perhaps might be cookies)
7) If you don't go, you kinda suck
8) The book is seriously good
9) Cookies (I feel this point needs repeating), conversation and extra credit (where applies for the last one)

Need I say more? Amazing people are going to be there...and you know that you, person reading this, are one of those people.

Be there. You have a month. Now read!

Announcing Book #2....

Cutting For Stone by Abraham Verghese! I'm excited about this one; I've heard some amazing things about this book. Although I thought I was only going to select books that I'd already read, I got such great feedback whenever I heard this book mentioned that I knew it would be a good choice. I'm a bit over a hundred pages in right now and I'm really enjoying it. It's a long book, but it seems to go by quickly. The medical aspect of the book is particularly interesting, and I'm already engrossed. The meeting will be Saturday, Novemeber 20 at 2:00 pm. Get reading!

First meeting!

We had the very first meeting today, and I had a fantastic time. The turnout was pretty low (only the amazing Ms. Davis and Ms. Pirsch showed up) but we had a great discussion. I'll be working out the next book and meeting very soon, and hopefully I'll work it out so that extra credit could be an option. (Yay for bribery!) You'll be hearing more soon!

GET EXCITED!

Yeah, that's right! Guess what's going down tomorrow? Oh, only the very first meeting of the Borders Young Adult Book Club! It's going to be really really fun, I'm super excited about this! See you then!
