We had our February book club meeting on Wednesday, February 10, 2010 at the Library.

In January we started reading The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett. As this is a very large book, we have decided to read this book over two months (January and February).

At our meeting everyone said they are enjoying the book. We all felt that the characters and story are very interesting.

At our March meeting on March 10, 2010 we will discuss this book some more.

Up coming selections:

• March 2010 - The Bishop Man by Linden MacIntyre
• April 2010 - 2nd Chance by James Patterson
• May 2010 - World without End by Ken Follett

Today I listed “All for Love” by Tasha Tudor.

The theme of this book of poetry, letters, songs, stories, folklore and customs is Love. Also their is a section on the Tudor’s family Valentine’s Day customs and traditions. Color illustrations by Tasha Tudor.

The author has also included Love Songs, including: Annie Laurie, My Love is Like a Red Red Rose, Early One Monring and more, with notes and lyrics (for piano).

The last chapter of this book has gifts and celebrations of the author and her family, including: How to Make Cake Sale Booths, How to Make a Flower Pot Valentine Card, How to Make Valentine Bouquets; Recipe for a Festive Punch and Valentine’s Cake Recipe.

A lovely book about love which would make a great gift for that special person in your life this Valentine’s Day.

J. D. Salinger died today at the age of 91, of natural causes at his home in New Hampshire. He is best know for his book The Catcher in the Rye which was published in 1951.

We had our January book club meeting on Wednesday, January 13, 2010 at the Library.

Our December selection was This Year It Will Be Different by Maeve Binchy. A collection of 15  Christmas tales about love and family snarls in the season of comfort and joy, set in England, Ireland,  and Australia.

We discussed this book a bit and the consensus was that it was not what we expected for Christmas stories and  most of us did not enjoy this selection.

If you would like to read other books by Maeve Binchy, you can find more books by her on www.amazon.ca.

Our January book club selection is The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett. As this is a very large book, we will be reading the first half of this book in January and the second half in February.

We have been busy listing books lately, which you may find interesting.
