Book Club Information
So the month listed is the month in which you can read the book and then we'll meet the first or second weekend of the following month and discuss.
For example: Feb: She Looks Just Like You by Amie Klempnauer Miller
We'll meet the 5,6,12,or 13 - tell me in the comments which will work best. And let me know where you'd like to meet. I'm thinking either the sports bar in downtown Mtn View - or Red Rock Coffee since they have that nice upstairs. Or somewhere on Lincoln in Willow Glen - Pizza My Heart or Willow Glen Coffee.
For the rest of the year:
- March Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk by David Sedaris
- April: The Ghost Writer by Robert Harris (the movie is based on this book, so we could do a compare/contrast)
- May: She's Gone Country by Jane Porter
- June: Unfamiliar Fishes by Sarah Vowell (out March 22)
- July: Smoking Seventeen - the newest Stephanie Plum - out June 21
- Aug: One of Our Thursdays is Missing - Jasper Fforde (a Thursday Next novel, out March 2)
- Sept: The Poisoner's Handbook
- Oct: An Offering of Leaves: Ruth Lauer-Manenti
- Nov & Dec: we'll take off due to the holidays. This can be revisited later.

Excellent. I already have the first two books.
I'm good for the 12 and 13th of March for our first meeting.
I'm going to skip the first because I have no interest in it, but the others look interesting. I've been meaning to try Sedaris too.
Is Smoking Seventeen going to make any sense if I haven't read the other ones?
It should. Evanovich is pretty good about summing up the backstory nicely. And aside from some of the relationships (which get explained) each book stands alone where the A plot is concerned.
OK. I take it you like her? The only book I've read of hers is Metro Girl, which was addicting, yet an odd combination of life-threatening situations and humor. It was impossible to trade online and I'm guessing there's a reason that book didn't do so well and the numbered ones do.
LOVE the numbered ones. They are laugh-out-loud-sometimes-coke-comes-out-your-nose funny. but she's a bounty hunter, so there's suspense and action. and sex. and humor.
OK, I'll try 'em. But only because I trust your judgment.
