October Book Club Meeting

Robyn hosted this months meeting. She picked Whistling past the Graveyard by Susan Crandall. This was one of my favorites this year! I loved Eula and Starla!

A few great quotes:

  "Remeber when we was bakin', and what I say about overworked crust? You and me, we done pushed our luck 'bout as far as a body dare. We overworked crust."

Eula

"My Grandmother said she prays for me every day. Which was funny, because I'd only ever heard Mamie pray, "Dear Lord, give me strength." That sure sounded like a prayer for herself..."
Starla

"Our upstairs is hot as the hinges of Hades... I kinda hoped when Mamie got home late this afternoon, she'd find me passed out from heatstroke."

Starla 

We had some pizza, pie and pumpkin decorating!

Septembers Book Club Meeting

Sam chose The One Hundred Foot Journey by Richard C. Morais.  It was a endearing book about family, struggles and the love of food!

We met at the BayLeaf in Downtown New Bern and enjoyed a wonderful meal!

August Book Club Meeting

Jan picked The Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline‎.  It was such a good book! Jan made some really yummy treats as well as some beautiful hand painted bookmarks for the each of us.

I'm sad to say I missed this Fabulous meeting too! I heard it was a blast and very "bee"-utifully done!

Painting Party at Whitneys - June Meeting

Whitney picked Edenbrooke by Julianne Donaldson for Junes Book Club read.

She had us all over to her house and surprised us with a quiz and a lesson on painting! It was so much fun and relaxing. We have some seriously talented ladies amongst us.

We would like to welcome our newest BCM to Friends.Food.Fiction, Samantha Rausch!

May Hosted by Leisha

Leisha hosted May's BCM and she chose The Wednesday Letters by Jason F. Wright.

She picked Morgan Tavern and grill to meet up and it sounds like it was so much fun! So sad to have missed it.

April's Decades/Murder Mystery BCM

Brittany hosted her LAST BCM in New Bern. She's been with me from the beginning and it will be sad not to have her coming anymore but she's off on a new adventure in Va.

Brittany chose Murder at Rosamunds Gate by Suzanna Caulkins.

She had us dress up in our favorite decade and we had a murder mystery dinner to boot!

I think she enjoyed her farewell cake a "bit" too much! Lol

March BC Meeting

What a great start to the new year! We've had some wonderful meetings so far.

Addie hosted this month and we enjoyed a fun night out at Max and Budo's favorite spot in town, IHOP! We all brought our own imaginary friends to the party!

Next month Brittany will be hosting and we'll be reading Murder at Rosamunds Gate by Suzanna Calkins.

February BC Meeting

Angela hosted such a fun meeting. Games, great food and gifts!

Had no idea we had such "sharp shooters' in our group!!

Next month were reading Memoirs of an Imaginary Friend by Matthew Dicks. And Addie will be hosting!

2014 Kick off meeting!!!

Wow! I can't believe its been 3 years since we started our little Book Club! We've had such a fun time and have met and gotten to be friends with so many over the years.

January started off with our first meeting at Carries house. We had our own little POWWOW! Everyone came dressed as either Native Americans or another character from the book.

We read 1,000 White Women. It was the first Native American book Ive ever read and although it was fictional still helped open my eyes to what life might have been like for them back then.

Angela is hosting Februarys meeting and has picked, These is my words by Nancy E. Turner

Happy Reading :)
