Book recommendations and other stuff
Hey ladies! I can't wait to see you all at book club on Thursday! Hooray! I lost track of who got a newsletter in the mail and I know that not everyone got one. So if you see fellow members while you are out and about this week, give them a reminder that book club will be at Angie's house at 6:30. I also have the movie of Follow the River. We will watch it at my house around 8:00-8:30. I have YW volleyball so I won't be at the actual meeting (little sob) but I will call Angie when I get home so you can all come crash my house. I will be wearing jammies for sure, so you should too if you want to. Now on to book recommendations:
I picked up these book last week and have not been able to put them down since. The Hunger Games and it's sequel Catching Fire are by Suzanne Collins. The basic plot line is as follows. The US as we know it has fallen. The people are divided into 12 Districts and are governed by the iron hand of the Capitol. Every year each District is made to offer up 1 male and 1 female child to compete in The Hunger Games, a fight to the death tournament. Last man standing wins. The whole nation is required to watch these children kill each other off as a reminder of the power of the Capitol. Katniss is 16 when her 12-year-old sister's name is called. Katniss volunteers to go in her place. Thus begins the Hunger Games.
These books are absolutely fantastic. There is a little of everything in these books: Action, romance, theories on morality. That being said there is also violence, and there are some very disturbing scenes. I have to admit I have had some of the craziest dreams ever over the last week. I would highly recommend these books! I would have done them for book club except the books are very interdependent on each other, thus making it a bad match for our club. If you want to borrow them let me know. Both will be available by Thursday, but you have to read them in order!
Now, concerning watch faces: I will be placing a order on Friday after book club. If you want to order a face let me know by then. If you need help or have questions, we can go through the website pages at my house on Thursday night.
One more thing: I found a very cool blog: The Well-Read Child It is a blog dedicated to reviewing children's (infant-young adult) books. Very cool! Check it out. I will also add it to our side bar. I am excited to see you all this week!

Retreat Time!
Hey ladies! It is that time again. Retreat Time!! I am super excited to hang out with all of you! Here are the particulars:
Date: October 23-24
Time: Meet at my house at 4:00. We will meet Logan people at the Smith's parking lot at 4:30
Bring: A blanket and a pillow if you want. There are lots of beds.
~A inexpensive paperback to use in a paperback swap. A book that you love and would like to share with others.
~A treat to share
~$10 for food and craft
~Beads for watches
Craft: Yes, we are going to make beaded watch bands! Hooray! This is a personal taste thing. You will need to go into Beadles or Hobby Lobby/Micheal's and pick out your beads. There are some great ideas on this website.I will let you know approximately how many beads you need soon. I will also provide the beads that hook the two sides of the bands together(if you want something particular or fancy get it at Beadles), lobster clasps, and elastic cord. If you want to order a watch band leave a comment. I would choose something from this page. Call me if you have questions or want help choosing. I will be placing an order ONE TIME ONLY in a week so let me know which one you want ASAP.
I will provide dinner and breakfast with the pooled money. I need a couple of volunteers to drive. Anyone? I love you all and can't wait to hang out! Let me know if you have questions or comments(newbies especially). If you want to know how much I love you click on the comic. If you are not on the comic just know I ran out of little people, and maybe be grateful I didn't take a jab at you! Yay, yay, for slumber parties!
