January Book and Next Meeting

Hello Ladies!

Have you been wondering if we were ever going to meet again???? You're not alone! What a crazy few months, but hopefully things will start to settle back into the normal range of craziness now that the holidays are almost over!

I am planning on setting our next book club meeting for Thursday, January 5th. Just wanted to give you a heads up so it could be put on your calendars! Time and location will follow soon. I can't wait to meet again and discuss some of these books! The latest one, Prized, by Caragh M. O'Brien, had some surprising issues brought up, which I would like to be able to talk about!

If you are already ahead of the game, here is what we will be reading in January!!!


Matched, by Ally Condie

"Cassia has always trusted the Society to make the right choices for her: what to read, what to watch, what to believe. So when Xander's face appears on-screen at her Matching ceremony, Cassia knows with complete certainty that he is her ideal mate . . . until she sees Ky Markham's face flash for an instant before the screen fades to black. The Society tells her it's a glitch, a rare malfunction, and that she should focus on the happy life she's destined to lead with Xander. But Cassia can't stop thinking about Ky, and as they slowly fall in love, Cassia begins to doubt the Society's infallibility and is faced with an impossible choice: between Xander and Ky, between the only life she's known and a path that no one else has dared to follow."


Enjoy the rest of your break, and....

Happy Reading!

December Book

December's book will be the newly-released second book of Caragh M. O'Brien's Birthmarked Trilogy, called Prized.  Here is a synopsis of the book:

"Striking out into the wasteland with nothing but her baby sister, a handful of supplies, and a rumor to guide her, sixteen-year-old midwife Gaia Stone survives only to be captured by the people of Sylum, a dystopian society where women rule the men who drastically outnumber them, and a kiss is a crime. In order to see her sister again, Gaia must submit to their strict social code, but how can she deny her sense of justice, her curiosity, and everything in her heart that makes her whole?"
