Here is the Master List for the new SC Book Club for 2009. Looks like May and December are still up for grabs, so let me know if there are any takers:
April 21st - Tina C. Book: "Hotel on the Corner of Bitter & Sweet" by Jamie Ford
May 19th - Alex Hardy - "Love Walked In" by Maris De Los Santos
June 16th - Emily (onehappymama) Book: Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, by Lisa See
July 21st - Scrap Ally - "The Hour I First Believed" by Wally Lamb
August 18th - Nail Girl (hostess) - "In the Woods" by Tana French
September 15th - Kimber Leigh
October 20th- Houston
November 17th - Mandie Lou
December 15th - Hanna - Book: "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society" by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows
Book club takes place in the SC Chat Room from 6:00 to 7:00 Pacific Time (or 9:00 - 10:00 PM Eastern Time) on the third Tuesday of each month. The hostess for each month will begin the chat and offer discussion questions.
Reading the books is kinda the idea, but don't worry if you don't/can't read or finish reading the book - we'd love to have you join the chat anyway.
And thanks for making this happen! You gals are da bomb.
Thanks, Alex! If you want to go ahead and choose your book for May, the rest of us can get a head start on getting the book. At a minimum, please share your book selection with us on our first SC Book Club chat!
Hey all! I've updated the Book Club "Master List". If you could add your book selections for your month to this post that would make it easier for me to keep up. I'm also going to see if I can have this post added as a Sticky.
I am *loving* April's book. Has everyone found it who needs it?
Hi all!! I just found the SC Book Club and I would LOVE to join in!!! I am a VERY avid reader and LOVE being exposed to new books! I know I only have a few weeks to read April's book, so I'm going to Barnes and Noble to get this today! I am REALLY excited about this!!!
Tina - I think Alexis picked Loved Walked in by Maris De Los Santos for the May read. Just in case anyone is trying to pick up a couple in advance. Can't believe how close we are to April already.
Well, I've got July's book reserved for me at my local library, but it's not looking good that I'll get a copy in time to participate in July's chat. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, tho'.
Any ideas on what August's book will be? Maybe I can get a jump on hunting down a copy of that one! :)
Hey girls, I thought I would go ahead and post my book choice for august in case any of you want to get a jump on it! Its a book I read last summer and really liked! The author is Tana French and the name of the book is "In the Woods" I hope you enjoy it and look forward to the chat!
I found this message board and I just HAD to participate. I love to read and am looking forward to discussing these books with you. I will go get "The Hour I First Believed" and rush to read it in time for the book club discussion!
Thinking about jumping in for the August book. Just have to figure out if I can join the chat. Would also love to know which books from the above list you all have loved. I am always looking for something to read!!
Hi, I just joined SC and one of the main reasons I chose SC is because of the featured book club! I hope to join in the chat next Tuesday. I'll try to find the August book and begin reading it. The book is "In the Woods," right? Is that the only book you'll be discussing during the month of August?
Is there a link on the message board that explains how to get into the chat? Thanks!
yup - I think its fallen off a little, but would love to get it going again. Maybe we can start strong again for Nov. & Dec.? Did we get a decision on Nov's book, I know there were several up for suggestion.
And Tina - thanks for starting the book club. Was a great idea, and I have loved getting introduced to books I might not have read otherwise. -

Linda just jump right in. There will be threads bringing up the book as we get closer to the discussion date.
Hey--
It seems as if the book club has kind of fallen by the way side---
anyone know what's going on?
yup - I think its fallen off a little, but would love to get it going again. Maybe we can start strong again for Nov. & Dec.? Did we get a decision on Nov's book, I know there were several up for suggestion.
And Tina - thanks for starting the book club. Was a great idea, and I have loved getting introduced to books I might not have read otherwise.
