One last book to get./Two last meetings to set...

Hello Radiant Readers!

Please take a look at the updated schedule (in the side bar to the right). My updated information is in blue.

I am hoping we can all meet next Tuesday the 16th (I am checking to see if  the library Community Room is available.) Are you available? That would make up for the meeting we missed last Tuesday.

Also, it turns out that Amy and I need to be in Maine on the 23rd to scatter Amy's dad's ashes on the lake he loved. Consequently, I am not available for book group on the 23rd. I wonder if people are available for the 24th, the 25th, or the 26th? That would  be our final meeting. Let me know.

A note about the books: As you know, I suggested the "River Rafters" group not read  Horrid Henry  Instead, I am hoping that all the kids  from "The Mountaineers"  and "The River Rafters" can get Martin Bridges Onwards and Upwards by Jessica Scott Kerrin (I'm sure it's in the library -- or you can buy it for $6.95) the younger kids can read  it with their parents, while the older kids can read it on their own.

Then, at our last meeting, we can all meet as one group at 5:00  p.m. and enjoy talking together about this  book's theme of boys and girls, prejudice, courage, and friendship. 

I hope  to hear from you all, and I'm looking forward to seeing you (hopefully this coming Tuesday!)

We love to climb trees also... our favorite one is at my Meme's house...its a beautiful maple tree. We love to swing on the branches.
