Chicken Dinner.

Or if you would rather have butterbeer, that's also fine.

As you might have guessed, you guys have chosen to read the book that shall not be named...

Okay. Okay. I'm done with all of my jokes. It's time to decide when our own little Order of the Phoenix shall meet. If the results of the voting are close, we will hold two meetings in March to cater to your availability. Because of this, you will only be allowed to select one option in the poll.

• 12:30 pm - 2:30 pm Saturday March 8th 
• 12:30 pm - 2:30 pm Sunday March 9th
• 12:30 pm - 2:30 pm Saturday March 15h
• 12:30 pm - 2:30 pm Sunday March 16th 
• 12:30 pm - 2:30 pm Saturday March 22nd
• 12:30 pm - 2:30 pm Sunday March 23rd

The poll will close this Wednesday at 9:00 pm.

Platform 9 3/4 awaits.

Stella 

(P.S.: If anyone still wants their copy of The Crane Wife by Patrick Ness, even though we're not reading it for book club can send us an email and we can arrange a time for you to pick it up.)

What should we read next month?

Hello everyone,

I hope you guys are all enjoying your Reading Week. Perhaps, you are catching up on some Olympics action, or enjoying your mom's homemade meals. Either way, we cannot wait to see you next month.

For next month, it was suggested we read something from our childhood, something nostalgic. Here are four suggestions, but please fill out one of our Recommendation/Feedback forms on our website if you have something else in mind.

1) The first book in the Harry Potter series
2) Fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm
3) Fairy tales by Hans Christian Andersen
4) Calvin and Hobbes

We wish everyone an awesome Reading Week and happy reading.

Our next meeting will be held in....

The room is booked, so let's start reading! :)
This month, we will continue our tradition and meet in UCU 206.

Straying away from the usual, our meeting will be held on Sunday, February 16th, from 12:30 pm to 3:00 pm.

See you then!

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

(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.
