Year 4 Kick off...

1.  Erin hosted the event.
2. 12 people attended.
3.  Books were decided by the group- it took debating, arguing, bullying, and in the end compromise and collaboration.  Nice work, crew.
4. Awards handed out (but no prizes).  Apparently we still need to decide Most Improved and Best Book...

Andi 2011-2012 book club MVP
Amy 2011-2012 Amy
Most improved
Jodi 2011-2012 book club LVP
Worst book - silencing Sam
Best blogger - Amy
Shelley - talk and touch ribbon
Jenny - best sandwich
Renee - best self proclaimed leader
Best book -

Run by Ann Patchett was discussed.  I think my favorite part was when Shelley knew by heart her favorite quote. And I think the author is right, though I never would have thought of it myself; it's a book about politics (a nugget added by Renee from an interview with the author).

See you in October, everyone!  Don't forget to heck out the FFBC Facebook page.  Let me know if you are on Facebook and aren't a part of the books.

August 2012- Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

Just the basics here (blogging is proving to be more work than it' worth)...

Beth's house.  Only 4 or 5 people could make it.  But the book is brilliant and juicy and everyone needs to read it, so we will be revisiting it in January 2013!
