Confessions of a Bookaholic: Next Meeting Time.

The votes are in. Our next read is Sophie Kinsella's Confessions of a Shopaholic!

Now we have to decide on the next meeting time. Below are the options, please vote for your preferred times in the poll (right side bar).

• Feb 15, 12:30 to 3
• Feb 16, 12:30 to 3
• Feb 22, 12:30 to 3
• Feb 23, 12:30 to 3

Because of the break, we will only have ONE meeting this month.

(Sorry, if I am not as witty as Stella in writing these posts. I hope the below image makes it up for it.)

Chick-lit February

Lately, we have been reading some pretty heavy books, including Vicious and American Gods. It was brought up during our last meeting that maybe we should read something light and funny for February. It seems like most of you guys agree with the change. Get ready to be swept away by Sophie Kinsella!

A new poll is now up on the Bookworms' website to select which Kinsella book we will dive into in February. Here are your nominees:

1) Confessions of a Shopaholic 

2) Can You Keep a Secret?

3) The Undomestic Goddess

4) Remember Me?

5) Twenties Girl

6) I've Got Your Number

7) Wedding Night

The poll is now open and will run until 10:00 pm Sunday, January 26th.

So get voting and have a great weekend. :)

Goodbye January, Hello February.

Thank you for everyone who came out and discussed Vicious/American Gods this month. It was really nice to hear your thoughts on Victor, Eli and Shadow - three very different characters.

Here are what you guys suggested for next month's pick:

1. The Crane Wife by Patrick Ness*
2. Cinder by Marissa Meyer 
3. Austenland by Shannon Hale
4. A Sophie Kinsella book
5. A ghost story anthology 
6. A short story collection by Alice Munro

*The Penguin Press has kindly provided 25 copies of The Crane Wife by Patrick Ness for our book club. If The Crane Wife wins February's poll, we will arrange times where Ashley and I can bring the books on campus and we can distribute them out to any who wants a copy for next month's meeting. :)

The poll is now open and will close Thursday morning at 10:00 am.
And remember to like us on Facebook so you can get updates as well.
