August Book Selection - The Turtle Catcher

Wow. That's a big picture. Okay, we have chosen our book for August, The Turtle Catcher by Nicole Helget. Gilbert Public Libraries have it available in some of their branches and they have it available on amazon.com, and I haven't checked out any other resources beyond that.

Let's Get the Ball Rollin'

So I made a few suggestions, and Tess's internet was down for 24 agonizing hours so she hasn't had a lot of time to post anything (except she had time to ask me where the fake books were).. so if you see a book on the suggestions I made, please say so. OR, if you have another idea other than Twilight (sorry, Keiko), please share.

Renee and I think Turtle Catcher will be a great read.

Maybe we can plan to either ease into the book club realm with "discussing" via blog posts for the first book, or we can meet for breakfast for either the weekend of August 15th or 22nd OR in September?

Don't be afraid to post. If you want to be a contributor, let either Renee, Tess or I know so we can add you. ;)

Book Suggestions for August... For Realsies

The Real Shortlist:

Something Helpful: Emotional Freedom

Something Spooky: The Seance

Something Funny: Are You There Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea

Something Adventurous in a Victorian girl-sorta way: A Foreign Affair

Something Hermaphrodite with WWII references: Turtle Catcher

Something Summer Read-ish: A Rule Against Murder

If any of you are gagging over these selections, it would not hurt my feelings one bit. As you can see, I like to read historical fiction-type books.

Book Klub for Kewl Kids

Tessy came up with the idea of starting a book club and I love her for it. We'd like to take turns making the book selections, and we can get together afterwards to discuss, whether it's at someone's house for dinner, meeting up for breakfast or gathering at a cafe...

Any suggestions?
