Welcome on our book club blog!
Let me first say how excited I was when Natalie picked me to not only be part of her couples-only book club, but also to create and maintain this blog. It truly is an honor. As your devoted blogger, I promise you random posts and sarcastic comments throughout the year while putting you, my devoted readers, at the forefront of the blog.
Indeed, each month, you will take over this space. Among other things, I will ask one of you to provide me with your top 5 books of all time, which should serve as a great source of literary recommendations. Random polls will also take place, and more contents and functions will be added.
For the virgin book club-ers, you need to know that every respected book club maintains its own blog. It is an inherent part of the book club sphere. This blog will be an essential part of our social interactions, adding texture to the magical evenings to come. I encourage you to start e-mingling (i.e. posting comments) right away!

Hello bookclubbers!
I won't be there for our first meeting... so would encourage everyone to select a variety of authors / genres for our reading pleasure. I learned a great deal in our last book club as I had an opportunity to read authors from many different countries... and books I probably wouldn't have chosen myself but loved none the less! So, THINK VARIETY and see you in October.

Hi everyone, it is with great sadness that I have finally decided against nominating "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand as my suggested book club book. Those who were worried about reading over 1000 pages of very small type in just 4 weeks can now breath a big sigh of relief!
I now have just three days to find another book to recommend. It's a tough job, but I think I'm up to the challenge. See you all Thursday.

Unfortunately, I will not be present at our next meeting. However, I will be looking out for all the latest news on this fantastic blog. I am slightly embaressed that the webb's have 100% of comments here...maybe we just have nothing better to do?
