~Book Club~
Hi everyone!
I sent an email already to those of you whose (who's??) emails I have, however I wanted to extend an invitation to everyone!
My friends and I used to have a very active Book Club, we met once a month and had a great time. Several Nesties used to attend. Good books, good wine, great fun. Long story short, we all got busy and forgot about it, and haven't met since December 2008... So, I'm bringing it back!
First meeting will be mid April, so far it's looking like a Thurs night, either the 8th or the 22nd. We are meeting at my friend Julie's house, she lives right next to the Ross Island Bridge, like SE 7th and Powell.
We are reading Shutter Island. I have heard really good things about this book. Here is a review from a fellow Nestie's blog, I feel it sums it up quite nicely:
I was a little apprehensive to read this book. I don't do scary AT ALL and I thought this would be scary. However, I'm one of those people who must read the book before seeing the movie. I was intrigued by the movie trailers and thought I'd give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised. This book really wasn't that scary. It was suspenseful, but not scary.
Shutter Island, by Dennis Lehane, is about Teddy, a U.S. Marshal who is sent to investigate a missing person from a mental hospital for the criminally insane on Shutter Island. Teddy is left clues and works with his partner Chuck to try and find the missing woman. Nothing at the hospital is was it seems, and neither is Teddy. Eventually, Teddy and Chuck begin to fear that they may never get off that island.
You can usually rate most books by it's ending. If a book starts off slow but has a wonderfully unexpected ending, then it can be considered a great book. This is how I felt about Shutter Island. It took a few chapters for me to get into the book, but once I did, I was hooked. Like I said, the book was suspenseful and at moments had my heart racing. You never knew what to expect on the next page! If you plan on seeing the movie, check out the book first. If you don't plan on seeing the movie, read the book anyway.

Everyone is welcome, however it's adult women only, so no kids, and no hubbys!
