Plans for Spring

Hi everyone,



Thanks to everyone who came and participated in our Wednesday Letters night! It was a lot of fun and I think we all gained a few insights on the book. Sorry about the scheduling conflicts for those who read the book but couldn't make it. Hopefully, we'll have better luck next time picking a good day.

Speaking of which, continuing on our theme of women and their wild ways, our next book, which we'll be discussing the first part of May, is Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert.



From Amazon: For this novel of French bourgeois life in all its inglorious banality, Flaubert invented a paradoxically original and wholly modern style. His heroine, Emma Bovary, a bored provincial housewife, abandons her husband to pursue the libertine Rodolphe in a desperate love affair. A succès de scandale in its day, Madame Bovary remains a powerful and arousing novel.

Amy Harris is leading the discussion and the meeting will be held at Charis Call's house, possibly May 7th or 14th (both Thursdays). However, it's looking more and more like Thursdays are not as good for everyone, so if you'd prefer we tried a Tuesday in May (the 5th or the 12th) please leave a comment or let me know.

Finally, sometime soon we also want to schedule a book club meeting to discuss The Hundred Dresses, our theme for our Relief Society service project, which will probably be a big meeting. We'll plan a few fun things for that in addition to discussing the book--I'll keep you posted.

Happy reading!
