Tustin Library BookBite - January meeting 2011

Hello everyone,

We had our last 2010 meeting last evening with Susan Vreeland's Girl in Hyacinth Blue.  Thank you everyone for participating in both discussion and the delicious potluck. 

We have a change in dates for January as our usual 3rd Monday is actually a holiday and our library will be closed for Martin Luther King Day (Jan 17).  Instead, we will meet in Tustin's Computer Lab on Monday January 10 at 7:00PM.  This is the meeting where every member will have an opportunity to suggest a title for our 2011 season.  Please come prepared with a title and a quick rundown on the book's highlights.  We will select eleven titles with the most votes.

In addition, the group will have a different leader to faciliate discussion.  We will assume the person who chose the selected read will take the responsibility unless otherwise arranged.

Also, due to the mix in picks (non-fiction / fiction), members have expressed an interest in splitting the group so that there is a fiction-only club or offer an alternative fiction with the non-fiction selection and group may split during those times.

If you have your titles in mind, please email it to me so that I will have the list ready for our January meeting when we vote.  See you January 10.

• Monday January 10, 7:00PM (computer lab)
• Bring a title to suggest
• If your book is selected, be prepared to facilitate discussion (unless otherwise arranged)

p.s.  did anyone pick up a sterling silver serving fork with a hammer type handle from the potluck?  If so, please drop it by the Tustin Library in care of Nancy.

Thanks!
