Last night we had a great time, talking about heaven and angels over our Dairy Queen Blizzards. It was fun to hear everyone's personal insights and ideas from the book we just read, Heaven is for Real. Thank you to everyone who came, it was a great time!
Those in attendance were Amy Colson, Caroline Rowe, Dyan Thornton, Anne Bodily, Heidi Ellerbeck, JoLyn Thompson, Laura Schilaty, myself, and our newest addition to the club Alise Quayle. Thanks ladies!!

September book
I don't know what's in the air, but lately I have been on a fairy tale kick. In August alone I read three books in the genre! To continue with this theme, I chose a book that is next on my list: Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow, by Jessica Day George. It looks like there are a number of copies in the Sno-isle system, but you need to reserve them. I just bought my own, which I will pass along to the highest bidder when I am finished. :)
Here is a synopsis:
Blessed—or cursed—with an ability to understand animals, the Lass (as she’s known to her family) has always been an oddball. And when an isbjorn (polar bear) seeks her out, and promises that her family will become rich if only the Lass will accompany him to his castle, she doesn’t hesitate. But the bear is not what he seems, nor is his castle, which is made of ice and inhabited by a silent staff of servents. Only a grueling journey on the backs of the four winds will reveal the truth: the bear is really a prince who’s been enchanted by a troll queen, and the Lass must come up with a way to free him before he’s forced to marry a troll princess.
