We had a very different sort of meeting last night. For starters - there were only 6 of us. And - only Sheila had finished the book!!! But we still managed to have a great discussion about the book because the themes were present throughout the book and we had all read enough to understand and discuss. All of us intend to finish the book as we are all enjoying reading it. We used an iPad to enhance our meeting last night. We actually had a couple of iPads and a couple of iPhones there......Anyway - re the discussion - Janet I had located sites to use for discussion and rather than printing stuff out we went green and used the iPad to access the sites. We also used the iPad to research book ideas for upcoming books. And we selected books through the end of August! I even updated the blog a bit during the meeting - using the iPad - excuse the typos! Not as good with that iPad keypad....

2-27-12: City of Thieves, Benioff

Sounds like you had a very productive meeting.
I read City of Thieves. I wonder what you all will think of it.
I am looking forward to being back in time for Major Pettigrew and for the pot luck dinner in June.
Stay warm.
Annet
I think 5/28 is Memorial Day. We'll need to move that meeting to another date.
Fun time last night - and yes, I still plan to finish this past book.
Right - Memorial Day - oops on the 5/28 date - that will be June 4. Might be a bit tight with the next one on June 25 but...
We have the following hosts:
4-30-12 Marianne
6-4-12 - Anne S
6-25-12 Annet
Let me know if you want to host Feb or Mar.
Ellen hosting Mar.
Janet H. hosting Feb so we're all set for for hosts through end June. Thanks everyone.
