June Meeting

For our next book, we have chosen "Though Waters Roar", by Lynn Austin.




We discussed reading a Debbie Macomber book in the near future. I have contacted her regarding her availability, but I have not heard anything back, yet. Keep your fingers crossed.

If anyone wants to read a really good book for next month and lead the discussion, I am sure all of your fellow Fa La La's would LOVE you.

May Meeting - CHANGE of Plans

The girls that met for the May meeting decided that we were going to stick to our plan of only reading books that someone has already read.

So, the book for this month has changed. We are now going to read "Summer Blowout" by Claire Cook.

Looks like an easy summer read. Enjoy!

April Meeting

Our fearless leader is having trouble with her camera software. Although we have taken pictures for the past couple of months, they haven't made it to the blog. Hopefully they will be coming soon.

We had a great discussion about Still Alice this week. Very interesting and I think the big thought that hit everyone was, could I be next? As I was reading the paper yesterday, I saw an obituary for a fried that I knew 20 years ago from church, that I had lost touch with. It said she died of early Alzheimer's at 57. It made me rethink our discussions from this week and wonder how her life played out the past few years, and how her family had handled it.

We have chosen the books for the next two months.

For our May meeting, we will be reading "Ines of my Soul".




For June, we will be reading, "The Postmistress". Enjoy!

February Meeting

Since Tina, our fearless leader, did not make it this time, we don't have our group picture. This was Tina's first meeting to miss.

The books for the next two meetings are:

For March:




For April:

January Meeting

We had a small group for our January meeting, but as always, we had a good time. I'm not sure we even discussed the book! There was a little mention here and there that most of the people that read it really liked it, but we got to busy talking about "life" to have an in depth discussion.

We decided to put individual people in charge of each months book selection and discussion. That way Tina won't have to work so hard!

Carol was put in charge of our book selection for this month, and she chose "The Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini. She will lead the discussion for this book in February.

Fa La La Christmas Party

We had our Christmas party last Monday night at Tina's house and we had a "Snuggie" good time! We will definitely remember this party as the year of the Snuggie and the year that Carolynn opened all of the gifts. I think we all had a great time and loved our gifts.

Wasn't it great to see Tina's house? Thank you Tina for having us over and your warm hospitality.

We didn't even talk about the book for December, but we did choose the first book of the year. We are reading "The Art of Racing in the Rain" by Garth Stein.

We will meet again on Tuesday, January 5th at 6:30 at Panera Bread.

Have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!

November Meeting

We had a good time discussing our Mitch Albom Book.

For December, we have chosen "Christmas List" by Richard Paul Evans.

We are changing things up for our December Meeting. Tina is hosting us at her house for a Christmas party. Notice the change of date - it will be on Monday, December 7th at 6:30. We will send out a reminder closer to the date.

We are going to have a "white elephant" gift exchange. Bring a wrapped book, or any other item that has to do with reading (light, glasses, bookmark, magnifying glass, etc.). (Around $15).

Also, please bring an appetizer or dessert to share.

Hope everyone can make it.
