August - Book Pick & Date

Thank you again to all that came out for July's discussion. I am currently traveling and left my notes on the meeting at home, but I'll type them up early next week for the whole world to see, read, and comment on.


The next meeting is actually going to be more of a field trip to the 'burbs for an awesome beer and wine festival in addition to our discussion. Mark your calendars for August 26th at Blob's Park for the Kegs & Corks Festival. If you are planning to come, I would quickly head over to Groupon and pick up the deal that they have for Kegs & Corks; it'll save you a lot of money on the festival admission fee. For the book discussion, we will meet on Sunday, August 26 at noon. We will discuss the book first in a quiet area of the festival grounds and then see what the festival has to offer!

You may have already seen on Facebook, but the book chosen for August is Markus Zusak's The Book Thief (you can look at the summary on the previous post). You can purchase The Book Thief at local bookstores, on Amazon, or check it out from the Enoch Pratt Free Library.

If you plan to go with us in August, please RSVP on Facebook here. If you need a ride or someone to "buddy up" with for the Groupon, please let me know or post on the book club's Facebook page and we'll try to make it happen.

I will post discussion questions by August 20th on here, so please keep an eye out for that. Feel free to contact me on here or Facebook with any questions or comments.

Thanks for your continuous support for Bookmarks & Barstools!
