June Book

Caroline Rowe will be hosting for the month of June. The book she has chosen to read is "The Host," by Stephenie Meyer. I know that quite a few of you have already read it, so you've got a head start! Caroline wanted everyone to be forewarned that "The Host" is nothing like the "Twilight" series. It is written for adults, so it doesn't move quite so fast or have the teenage angst associated with "Twilight." But, as always, Meyers is a fantastic story-teller. I'm sure we will all enjoy it!

Anne's Story

Last night was a lot of fun at Laura's house! I wish more of you could have come!


Laura Schilaty, Carrie Surowiec, and myself first met at Jamba Juice where we enjoyed a nice frozen concoction. Then Laura and myself wandered over to Laura's house, where we were soon joined by Caroline Rowe and Jolyn Thompson. We had a great evening discussing the book and just chatting in general. Everyone was so impressed with Anne Frank. Her life and her story is simply phenomenal. I was astounded at the level of sophistication in her writing style. I had to keep reminding myself that she was only thirteen years old when she started her diary. It is devastating to think of all the lives cut violently short during the Holocaust. Anne's story has truly touched countless people, which I am sure would be unfathomable for her to grasp.

Our book club meeting this month will be this Saturday, May 30th. We will be meeting at Jamba Juice (by Target on Everett Mall Way) at 7:00 pm, then head over to Laura Schilaty's house to discuss "Anne Frank."

May Book

Laura Schilaty will be hosting Book Club for the month of May. She has chosen to read, "Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl," by Anne Frank. I haven't read this book since the ninth grade, so it will be really interesting to see what I think of it now, as compared to what I took from it as a young girl myself.

Girls' Night Out

We had a lot of fun at our April meeting! We met at the Olive Garden for dinner and conversation and were there late into the night! Good food, good company, and good conversation!


Everyone absolutely loved the book! There was a general concensus that we were a little hesitant to like it at first, given the subject matter (you know, that little issue of teenagers killing each other....) But we all agreed that once we got into it a little ways, there was no putting it down! Can't wait for the next book of the series due out in September! Thanks for the great book idea, Amy!


Those in attendance were: Lauren Hammond, JoLyn Thompson, Anne Bodily, Caroline Rowe, Robynn Stolte, and myself.
