November Meeting Date and Time

The next meeting date is confirmed. We will meet November 16th (1pm - 3pm). We will update you guys on the room (but we are thinking of meeting at FSS).

(Stella and I will be away at a conference during that time but our vice president, Juwairiya, will be present.)

Poll: November Meeting Time

We just revealed yesterday what book we are reading for the month of October, so it is the time to start the polling for November's meeting time.

Please direct yourself to the doodle poll (this time I didn't mess up the time!....I think).

Remember, our October Read is The Cuckoo’s Calling by Robert Galbraith.

Coming from Behind: Our October Read Has Been Decided!

My oh my, if you have been following the poll for our October Read, you were given a dramatic finale!

For the longest time, it was a battle between Mistborn: The Final Empire (Mistborn #1) by Brandon Sanderson and The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. But your votes are in! For October, we will read......

The Cuckoo’s Calling by Robert Galbraith

The Cuckoo’s Calling received 13 votes. While Mistborn and The Alchemist tied for 2nd with 12 votes.

Thank you all for voting! Now happy reading!

Vote for our October Book of the Month!

Thank you for such a wonderful start to a new year of Bookworms. We met some new and returning faces during our first meeting. We hope to see you next time!

Now, it's up to you to vote on the book we will read in October. Some really great suggestions were made during our first meeting. The poll is live on our website and can be found on the right hand site of the webpage. You can vote for more than one book if more than one interests you. Sounds good?

Here are your nominees:

Misborn: The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson

The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

The Wee Free Man by Terry Pratchett

Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

Hey Nostradamus by Douglas Coupland

The Five People You Meet In Heaven by Mitch Albom

Wild Seed by Octavia E. Butler
The Diviners by Libba Bray. (You can buy this at Chapters for $5.69 right now. Choose the "ship to store" option to avoid shipping fees.)

You have until 10:00 PM Wednesday, October 8th to vote.
