FIELD TRIP #2

I hope you received the email and responded, but just in case here it is:

We have tickets to hear Barbara Delinsky on Wednesday, February 25th at Scott Theatre, 3505 W. Lancaster in Fort Worth. It starts at 7:00 p.m., but the tickets are not reserved, so you must be seated by 6:50 p.m. From what I understand, there will be an overflow room, so you might want to get there as early as possible.

The first 10 people that email me will get a ticket. We will start a “waiting list” if necessary. I know some of you mentioned that you would like to bring a friend. We will put friends on the “waiting list” until all of the regulars have had a chance to respond. Let me know if you would like a ticket and we can work out the logistics.

I believe she will be autographing her latest book that was released this week, “While My Sister Sleeps”.

To see other books written by Barbara Delinsky go to www.barbardelinsky.com

I'm pretty excited. This our second book club "field trip" and we haven't even been meeting a year. (Our first one was to see Ron Hall and Denver Moore who wrote "Same Kind of Different as Me". They will be at Pantego Bible Church speaking this Sunday.)

If you are unable to go, we will miss you ... hope you're enjoying our book this month, I AM!!

FEBRUARY MEETING

Here is our February picture! We had a fun meeting again. Those that read the book all agreed that it was very slow at first, but once it got going, we couldn't put it down! I thought it was a great discussion about the book. And the members that read it didn't tell us how it ended so that we would all have to finish it to find out. After all ... as the Panera Bread employee that heard us talking said ... "I thought the purpose of a book club was to read the book!" We all got a good laugh out of that. Sooo ... let's all try to finish the next month book (myself included!)

Here is our selection for March ... The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society. The authors are Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows. A few of our members have read it and they highly recommend it!

Also, it looks like we WILL have tickets to this event! It is February 25th. Here is the information. http://www.star-telegram.com/books/story/1159792.html
I hope everyone will be able to join us for the field trip. I will email more information to everyone when we know for sure!
