Do you have a copy to lend of Same Kind of Different As Me?

Melissa Lowry and I are still on the waiting list at the library for this month's book, thankfully we aren't meeting at Carmelle's until June 24th so there's still time left to read it.  For those of you who have read it, can you lend it or did you get the book from the library too?

July's New Book Selection

Kayleen has chosen Tess of the D'Urberville's
by Thomas Hardy, instead of Laddie for our July book club.  Remind your friends of the change, and get your hands on it soon because it's over 500 pages, and you won't want to put it down!

June Book Club 4th week at Carmelle's

Come to Carmelle's to discuss Same Kind of Different As Me, but not until the 4th Friday, June 24th 8 p.m.  Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Keri's Hospitality and Great Conversation

May's book club started with a tour of Keri's adorable Cottenelle puppies, newly painted chicken coop, and frolicking baby goats.  Then we warmed up from the Spring evening with multiple hot cocoa selections, and delectable donuts.  Best of all, our conversation surrounding the Red Tent quickly led to the ever so interesting discussion of the relationships women have with their mother and how it would be to live in Old Testament times with multiple mothers.  Thank you, Keri, for a great evening!  See all of you June 24th.

Keri's take: There were people that loved the book and others that didn't like it.  But it was good for some heated discussion.  My favorite part of the discussion was when we were trying to decided what part of the book was also in the bible. I would have liked to have had the book club outside, but it has been raining so much that we were not able to have our book club setting outside in a tent with the animals all around. We had fun anyway!

The Red Tent Discussion at Keri's

Come join the discussion of this popular novel based in biblical times at Keri's house this Friday at 8 p.m.  Her address is: 5732 W. 13100 S. (across from the Chevron).  See you soon! 

Little trifle over little trifles!

Kristi Cummings, mother of 5, the youngest being 6 weeks old, invited our entire book club over to her house for a friendly and lighthearted conversation over All Creatures Great and Small.  Many of us confessed laughing so hard while reading some of James Herriot's memoirs that tears were shed and cheeks were aching!  Just speaking of it made us all laugh again. 

We were spoiled with a delicious trifle bar where each of us got to make our own trifle combination.  All sorts of berries, puddings, cakes and yogurts satisfied even the most picky eater.  Best of all, Lissa L. gave Jessica T. a signature whipped cream nose (which she accidently inhaled).  Live, impromptu entertainment is inevitable thus far in the Herriman Book Club!  I may have to bring a camera next time to capture the moments that some of you miss! 

Book club is never dull, and always refreshing.  Thank you, Miss Kristi, for your generous hospitality and to all those who showed up, even if you didn't read the book.  Big welcome to our first-timer, Amy Hunt.

Get ready for May's read at Keri Butterfield's home: The Red Tent.   

Kristi Cummings Invites you into the life of an English country vet

There may still be a couple copies on hold at the Herriman library under my name if you want to pick one up and read it in a week.

See you soon!
