Next Meeting - May 4, 2008

Don't forget that our next meeting will be held on May 4.
We will be watching "Pride and Prejudice" and having some food, fun and a relaxing girls night in.

Looking forward to seeing all of you!

Have a great weekend!

Hi girls,
I just wanted to say that I hope you will have a wonderful weekend. I am looking forward to many Spring days spent outside reading in the light breeze. Happy Reading!

How is your reading going?

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to see how your reading is going. I am finally getting used to the weird language and into the juice of it. Mrs. Bennett is the most whiney mother I have ever heard of -- I wish Elizabeth would offer her some cheese to go with that whine....

I am enjoying the book very much but waiting to get to what I know will be inevitable -- the relationship of Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy. Can't wait!!!

Hope you are enjoying it! Let us know what you think.

Reading Order

Hi everyone,

If there are no objections, I thought we would just read all of the Austen novels in order of publication. This really means that Pride and Prejudice should have been second, but it is first, so Sense and Sensibility will be second.

Here is the complete order for reading.

Pride and Prejudice (1813)
Sense and Sensibility (1811)
Mansfield Park (1814)
Emma (1815)
Northanger Abbey (completed about 1803, published 1818)
Persuasion (1818)

Pam, I know you are going out of town so you wanted to take both P&P and S&S with you.

Happy Reading!

Thanks to all who came to our first meeting!

Hi everyone,

I wanted to say thank you for a great first meeting. We had only 7 members of the group tonight but it was a great group and we had a good time. You will be happy to know that I did finally read my email and 5 others are due to be at next month's meeting.

Our super seven tonight were: Susan Schultz, Carol Williams, Caitlin Williams, Renee Lamm, Pam Newberry, Kristen and me. Thank you all for being there.

I am looking forward to starting my reading. Keep us posted on your thoughts and ideas.

Take care,
Brenda

Finally the Wish Becomes a Realization

I am so happy that the book and film club is finally getting ready to start. I have wanted to do this for a long time. To just have one night a month where the girls can relax and have fun and fellowship and expand our worlds together. Life gets so hectic for all of us and we all need and deserve a break.

I am so excited that Kristen wanted to join me in this. I think it will be a great place for mothers and daughters to share some common time and share thoughts on whatever book we are reading also. I am happy that my sisters, old friends and new friends are all joining in.

I have an awesome core group starting and I know we are going to have so much fun.

See you soon!
Brenda
