Last night I hosted book club at my house. It's so much fun to get together with these girls!! We met living in our townhomes, in Draper, as newlyweds. We've since all moved out of the neighborhood, but we remain close through our book club. When we get together there is little, if any at all, talk about the book. There are many in depth conversations about our kids, husbands and other friends. We have such a great time together!
The book I had chosen this month was The Tale of Desperaux. It is a children's book and I thought it would be an easy read for the end of summer. But I didn't finish it. I love books more than almost anything in the world, but for some reason when it's assigned reading, I can't ever seem to finish the book! And it was even my choice!
Our September book is Twilight. The good news is that I've already read it, so I'm already a head of the game. Our October book is A Thousand Splendid Suns and I'm already 25 pages into that, so it's looking good. If you have a good book recommendation - please send it my way! I LOVE BOOKS!
Anyway, Betty, Shanna, Emily and Valarie - Love you all! Thanks for being such amazing friends! And next month we're going to get a picture of all of us together!

Sounds Fun!
Hey, I actually just heard today about the Twilight series, I don't know if you have read the other two, New Moon and Eclipse, but I hear they are great!
I love any excuse to get together with good friends! What a fun time! And I have read the twilight series..obsessed!
I love reading too. Right now it seems like such an indulgence when I have a never ending list of more important things. Someday, I will rediscover my romance with the hardcover and the paperback.
I LOVE reading too. I have a bunch of really good books that I've read.. I should make a list of the ones that are my favorite.
Where I work, we have a book sharing cupboard. I've read some really good ones out of that too. I'm terribly when it comes to being assigned a book though, like you I can never finish it.. we have a reading group here in my ward, and I've yet to finish a book they've assigned. I do enjoy getting together though.
Right now I'm reading two.
A Town like Alice (which is Really good) and
Letters to Callie (the second of a series I'm enjoying)
I'm a nut about the Twilight series. I hosted a Twilight book club and we had it around our campfire in my backyard. We had these cupcakes with vampire fangs around them, "cold kisses" (I had Hersheys in my freezer), and cherry "bites". I blogged about it a couple weeks ago and I'm probably such a nerd, but it was so fun!
Our book club is reading "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen" next month. I haven't started yet, and all I know is that it's by the author of "Wicked."
Good words.
