The Piano Teacher by Janice Lee: Thursday, January 7th

It was great to see you all tonight! I do apologize for having so many side conversations and off-topic discussions. I don't get out of the house without a kid very often! Please let me return to book club again in spite of my annoying habits!

Our current book is The Piano Teacher by Janice Lee. Book Club will be held on January 7, 2010 at Lara's house. Directions to come closer to the date.

And, for the record, this was last month's book *smiles*:

Merry Christmas and Happy Reading!

The Help: July 9th

Thought I better update the blog in case I go into labor tonight! Just kidding ;-) I looked up Braxton Hicks on-line, and am pretty darn sure that's still what it is....I just need to keep drinking water. For the record, Daddy Q isn't worried--I walked in and said "I've been having contractions all night." And he said, "ok." Hmmmm...at least he won't be surprised if I wake him up in a few hours.

Had fun tonight! Welcome to the newbies, Lara and Amy. We hope you come back!!

Next book is The Help by Kathryn Stockett. It is just out--so, hardcover only. Shanon says its 30% off at Target right now. Also, Borders just sent out 25% off coupons...if you are a member there, check your email.

As July 9th gets closer, Shanon will email directions.

Enjoy your June!!
Sarah
