Updates
Hello!
I had so much fun at our meeting yesterday! Wow, were we ever productive!
I added Lindsey to the blog list, so she should be receiving all of these updates now. And I updated the info in the sidebar, showing out next meeting dates (let me know if I got anything wrong). Just so no one is confused, this is actually a blog post but it is being delivered automatically to your email inbox, so it really looks more like an email. But I think there is an option somewhere in this "email" that lets you go right to the blog page.
Or you can click here: http://bookettesbc.blogspot.com/
Happy Birthday Colleen in a few days! : )

This is for Colleen ...
You Secret Santa wants you to know that today is a very important day.
I hope you received my earlier clue. If not, it is probably under a snow pile out front, or else in a squirrel's nest!

Nightwoods Inspiration
Hey ladies -- I know we'll be seeing each other soon, but I wanted to drop in and leave a few links for inspiration as we continue reading this weekend.
Here's a positive review from the Washington Post
Although I made it sound in my emails like I didn't enjoy this book, I actually have mixed feelings and probably stand somewhere int he middle ... here are some things I had fun thinking about:
-Bud's Jesus/blood references and obsession
-the depiction of the children - he left out the "cutsy" and made them almost eerie. Yea?
-An awesome quote about falling in love (don't remember the page, but I'll tell you on Sunday)
-the parenting theme (we see many different parent relationships in the book)
-Bud, in my opinion, was the most interesting character. But why did he throw up so much?!
Well, that's nothing super insightful ... feel free to add to the list! Or we can just talk on Sunday : )
-Carolyn
P.S. I updated the sidebar with dates and books read. Does anyone have pictures from Rachel's meeting this summer? Or Heidi's in October? I'd be happy to post them if you email them my way.

Meeting #16: Water for Elephants
Hi ladies,
Sorry if you just got a short little blurb from me about Little Bee ... I was doing some housekeeping and didn't think we had a post for that one yet, but we do, so I deleted the one I was writing. Sorry for the confusion.
But if anyone has photos from Water for Elephants they'd like to add, just add them to this post or you can email them to me. I think that was one of the first meetings where we were all there, so quite the momentous occasion!
If I remember correctly, we all gathered at Heidi's on a dark and stormy night in October, where we dined on homey foods like meatloaf, yum. Moose kept us entertained, as per usual. : )
