February 2012 Book Pick!

Thanks to Carly for hosting another successful book club session! We were able to congratulate Miranda on her upcoming nuptials as well as catch-up after the long book club break!! Our pick for this month is the memoir, Orange is the New Black, by Piper Kerman. Kerman chronicles her time in a minimum security women's prison for fifteen months, while writing with an air of comic relief that makes this book hard to put down!

March book club will be hosted by Jessica at her house at 1028 W. 41 St. Kansas City, MO 64111 on Thursday, March 15th at 6pm. Hope to see everyone there!!

November and December Read-Only Book Club

We have decided to take a short hiatus from book club meetings for the holidays, but didn't want to leave you high-and-dry with nothing to indulge in! One of our members suggested the recently published biography of Steve Jobs (written by Walter Isaacson) for the holiday break. The book is long (656 pages to be exact; hence the two month time frame) but has raving reviews about the iconic intellectual who changed the world of what we now know as the iGeneration. Sounds to me like the perfect book to crack open after Thanksgiving dinner next to the fireplace!! Hope you all get a chance to read and we will resume club meetings in the new year at Jacque's house!! Happy Reading!!

November Book Club

Although several of our members were not able to make our October meeting, the show went on with the help of a homemade pot of chili and cornbread at Jessica's house. In lieu of a conversation about the book (which I, for one, really enjoyed!!), we watched both the Kardashian wedding and Jaden Vaughn walking, talking, and looking more like a toddler each day. He is so much fun!

The book pick for this month is Intern, by Sandeep Jauhar. This is a nonfiction memoir about a doctor's journey through residency.

Next month's book club will be at Jacque's house in Overland Park. I will update with time and date once November is upon us.

Happy Reading!

September 2011

Our next book club pick is Sex and the City, by Candace Bushnell. Who wouldn't want to relive the origianl story of a beloved TV show that only airs reruns and makes bad sequels? No excuse to not read this one, ladies.

We said goodbye to one of our beloved Booky-Boo original members, Brynn, tonight. She is off on her next adventure in life. Booky Boo will have to take a field trip to Denver, Colorado in the near future! Brynn, don't think you're off the hook, either! We expect you to skype us each month during our meetings.

Book club for September will be on Wednesday, September 7th at 6:30pm at Miranda's house. Her address is:

Until then....happy reading ladies!!
