The non-fiction book club will meet at 7 p.m. Monday, March 19th at Pamela Hall’s house.
The book is Karen Armstrong’s the Battle for God, not her book, The History of God, which is what I ordered, got in and sold to several of you this week. Those books may be exchanged for the proper book when it comes in on Wednesday. Very sorry for the mix-up.
The next-to-last book club for the independent film series at the Madison Morgan Cultural Center will be held on Sunday, March 14th at 6 p.m. We’ll be discussing Getting Near to Baby by Audrey Coulombis. The book is a Newberry Honor book from 2000 and we’re encouraging young adults and adolescents to come on their own or with their parents to both the book club and the film, When I Find the Ocean by Tonya Holly, which will by shown, with the filmmaker available for questions Monday, March 15th at 7 p.m.
Hope to see you there.
The newly formed kids book clubs at Dog Ear Books will meet again Friday, March 26th at 6 p.m. The first meeting at the store was great fun and we look forward to having even more kids join in the fun. The elementary-aged group will read The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles by Julie Andrews Edwards and the middle school age group has a choice to read either The Magician by Michael Scott or The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak.
More kids are welcome to attend the meetings, though I would appreciate a heads-up by prospective members just to make sure I’ve got enough seating and help on hand mainly. Huge thanks go out to Pamela Hall, Bonnie Hicky and Margaret Thomas for running and organizing this thing.
Any questions about either club just shoot me an email or give me a call at the store.
The regular fiction book club will meet Monday, March 1st at 7 p.m. at the store to discuss the second half of The Best Nonrequired Reading of 2009 after a month off to move the store. Looking forward to putting this one behind us to get back to some regular fiction.
