July Book Club

Hi Everyone!

July book club will be held on July 28th at 7:30 pm. Is Gelato Spot a good place for everyone or would you rather have it in a home? Please let me know so I can plan accordingly.  If someone wants to volunteer their home that would be great too.

We are reading The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald this month. I am excited about this selection as it is one of my favorite books. It is also being made into a movie soon starring Leonardo DiCaprio so that is another reason it will be fun to read this book.

Anyone want to volunteer for questions and bio? Let me know.

Thanks!

June Book Club Thursday!

Hi All!

This Thursday June 23, 2011 at 7:30 P.M. we will be having our June book club at Gelato Spot on 40th street and Greenway. It is right next to Starbucks across from Sonic. We will be discussing the books from last month (information in the post below.) Anyone care to come up with some general questions? Or would you rather just go and chat?

Anyway, if you can make it that would be awesome. Hopefully we have a larger group this month.

See you then!

Book Club for June

Hi Everyone!

Book Club for May was kind of sparse. We only had three people attend and none of us had read the book. So, I am making the executive decision to re-visit those books for the month of June! I have changed the book schedule on the side bar and just moved June's selection to July. Many of you who couldn't make it had mentioned you really wanted to read one of the two books we had selected. Here is your chance to read them if you still want!

The two books we were supposed to discuss were The Jungle by Upton Sinclair OR The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan.  You can choose only one of those books. If neither interest you Elly had suggested watching Food Inc. on Netflix as it has the same subject matter.

This should make for a very interesting discussion. As always, everyone is welcome even if they haven't read the book. We just love to have you all there! Would anyone like to volunteer to do discussion questions? Author Bio?

Book club is schedule for June 23rd at 7:30 P.M. The location is to be determined. We were thinking of just keeping it at YumBeri throughout the summer to make it easy but Sarah pointed out that it may get pretty hot outside. She suggested we think about Gelato Spot since there is a lot of indoor seating. Is everyone okay with this? I think it is a great idea and takes the pressure off of everyone regarding hosting. We can resume doing it in each others homes at the end of the summer.

Please leave a comment and let me know what you think. I will post closer to the time updating on details for the location.

Happy Reading Everyone!

Yum-Beri in May!

This month, we will be discussing our TWO book selections on the cozy couches of Yum-Beri! We will be meeting:

Thursday, May 26 at 7:30 p.m.

We will be discussing:

The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan and The Jungle by Upton Sinclair.

You can read one or both. Even if you choose to read neither, the frozen yogurt will still be delicious and we'd love to see you all there!

P.S. I won't have time to read the books, but I plan on watching Food, Inc. which has similar subject matter and is available to watch instantly on Netflix.

Book Club This THURSDAY!

April Book Club Selection

Our April book club selection is O Pioneers! by Willa Cather.

Christa Collins is hosting in her home at 7:15 p.m. on April 28th, 2011. The reason I bumped the time up a little is that the gates to her home close at 7:30. I think anyway? Chris, can you confirm this with me by email? I will update the blog if people need to arrive earlier. If anyone has a problem coming a little early let me know.

Would anyone like to volunteer for questions and author bio?


We also need volunteers for the rest of the year. On the sidebar are the current book club selections. We do have some volunteers already and I will add those ASAP. 


Thanks!
