2014 President and President Elect

Congratulations to our new book club president, Kristi A and her sidekick Fay! We have a bit of a new system in place for nominating the new president and vice president - and poor Kristi didn't know what it her. But that's what she gets for marrying a man whose last name begins with A. And while she did have the opportunity to turn it down, she graciously accepted.

Basically, here's how it works - we're a club, right? We all take turns hosting and we should take turns being in charge. In the past we've asked for a volunteer but apparently everyone was too intimidated by my awesome presidential skills (ha ha ha). That or maybe the fact that they think it's a very big job when there's already too much on their plate. But let me assure you, it's not a difficult or a time consuming job. You just need to make sure everyone else is doing their job. You delegate!

Okay, back to how it works - we're starting at the top of the roster and giving each lady an opportunity to be the president along with a vice president who will assist her when needed and will be ready to take over as the president the following year.

The blog has been my baby (something I enjoy) but after 2 years, it's time to close it down. Actually, I'll leave it up, but it won't be updated. Everything you need to know will be available through our Facebook group. The By-laws, Hostess Responsibilities, calendar and history will be filed on Facebook and you can also ask the president for that info as she keeps the binder with all that stuff in it.

We've got two more months before I sign off so, until then, enjoy reading Terron's book, Insight, and be thinking of your favorite Christmas book you'd like to share with us when we meet at Linda's in December!

November - Insight (Beholders #1) by Terron James

We had a great turnout at Kendra's for our book review of Matched. I think most everyone is anxious to continue reading, especially to find out who wins Cassia's hand. Will it be Ky or Zander? Thanks, Kendra, for opening up your home and for the yummy food stuff (including the red, blue and green "pills"). For those of you who ate the red "pills", we did have book club last Wednesday and you were there. You just don't remember.

I'm so excited about our book review for November! Our very own Terron James will be joining us at Debbie's on November 21 at 7 p.m. for our review of his book, Insight (Beholders #1). Many of us have read the 1st edition and loved it - but this one is supposed to be even better. Now that John has finished reading our copy, it's my turn. And I plan on bringing it with me to have it signed by the author. :)

Here's Goodread's summary:

Insight (Beholders #1)

4.27 of 5 stars 4.27  ·   rating details  ·  85 ratings  ·  35 reviews

Rumors are surging through Appernysia that a Beholder has been born, the first wielder of True Sight in over a millennium.

Seventeen-year-old Lon Marcs discovers he has been blessed—or cursed—with this gift. He cannot control the power of True Sight and feels it killing him with each passing day. He realizes that the only people who might possess the knowledge to save his life are the sworn enemies of his king. To obtain their help, Lon would have to journey into exile, leaving behind his village, family, and beloved Kaylen.

Although this is the hardest decision Lon has ever made, it is only the first of many that will test his strength and challenge his interpretation of right and wrong.
