August Book Discussions

There are so many great books out right now that we have decided to add two more reading groups to our schedule.  We now have a non-fiction group that will meet on the first Saturday of every month, a romance group for the second Saturday of every month, a general fiction group for the third Saturday of every month, and a young adult group for the fourth Saturday of every month.  All of the groups will meet at 1 PM, and as always, everyone is welcome to attend.  There is also a mystery group that meets on the fourth Wednesday of every month at 7:30 PM (this time may change to 7 PM starting in September).  If you have a book suggestion for any of the groups, please let us know.

Here is what we will be reading for the month of August.

 August 6th Non-Fiction group will be reading The Power of Babel by John McWhorter

Book Discussion Reminders

This Saturday July 16th we will be discussing The Map of True Places by Brunonia Barry at 1 PM.  Everyone is welcome to attend our open forum chats.   If you would like a review of this book go to our past post on June 20th 2010 or click here.

We are also having a great sale on used Christmas books right now.  Through the month of July all used Christmas books are half of our normal half-price.  This means you are getting the book for a quarter of the book’s original price, what a deal!

Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal

Don’t forget, Saturday May 21st we will be discussing Lamb by Christopher Moore at 1 PM.  On June 4th we will be chatting about Melissa de La Cruz’s teen fantasy novel Blue Bloods.  All of our book discussions are open forum, and everyone is welcome to come talk about the book.

Christopher Moore’s Lamb:  The Gospel According to Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal is witty and irreverent.  The book looks at Christ’s life between his birth and the Sermon on the Mount (or the lost 30 years) and humorously as well as fictitiously fills in the gaps.  He and his friend Biff are traveling around and learning about life, and of course getting into trouble.  Moore does a great job of presenting historical information in a comical way.

May Book Discussions

May 7th we will be discussing Lee Child’s 61 Hours thriller novel.  This is a Jack Reacher novel, but don’t worry if you haven’t read any of the series previously.  Child’s book are fast-paced and full of action.  This should be a fun read and good chat.  Stop in at 1PM to join our talk.

May 21st we will be discussing Lamb:  The Gospel According Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal by Christopher Moore.  This is a humorous fictional look at a the time between Jesus being born and the Sermon on the Mount.  Everyone is welcome and we begin at 1Pm.
