It's A New Year, It's A New Blog, It's An Organizational Meeting

Hey Bookgroupers,

With the new year comes a new book group schedule, and for those of you that weren't at December's meeting, we are going to have an organizational meeting on Thursday, January 13th at 7:30 PM at my house (I'll be sending out an email with my street address to all of you). Be sure to come with an idea in mind of a book you would like to read this year, and I was thinking it would be fun to stay within the parameters of A) something you haven't read before, and B) fiction. I think it should make a fun year of reading and discovering books together. Let me know if you have any questions, and I hope to see you all there! And, for your viewing enjoyment, some photos from the December meeting. Thanks for all contributing to a great discussion, as well as all those "wonderful" white elephant gifts! (If only Andi had been serious about the artwork being her white elephant gifts. It was probably my one and only chance of having a Brian Kershisnik in my house. Boo hoo, poor me).

Marie-Laure started strong by getting the coveted Prada bag, only to lose it shortly after.

Alison basking in the glow of her new Glen Beck book. Oh, the jealousy in the room was palpable!

Thanks for all the great insights last year, and here's to another great year of reading together!
