October Book Club

I know it is early but DH wants to plan a trip to his parent's house and is pressuring me to nail down a weekend, so:

#1 - Is it too much on everyone to come to Keller this month and then back again next month? My zip is 76179 for reference. If so, this is not a big deal to me and will not hurt my feelings! I am more than willing to facilitate the discussion is someone else's house, I would just need a volunteer not out in the NW Fort Worth area to agree to host book club on the date we pick. If it is cool with everyone to come out my way again in October I would love to host you all.

#2 - Could you please choose a date that is good for you? 10/15 is my anniversary and I feel like there is some secret plan for that weekend, so that one is out. Other options:

I just tried to post a poll here and it wouldn't let me post at all. So:

10/1, 10/8 (which is TX/OU game!), 10/22 or 10/29

and

At my house or not?

ETA: Book is Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand and is 473 pages.

Re: October Book Club

  • Well October might be a hard month for me.  10/1 - 10/9 is financial planning week.  We may have an event on the 1st or the 8th. I'm not sure which one, yet.  10/22 - I cannot make it.  The 23rd is our anniversary and we already have plans.  10/29 - I'm throwing a Halloween party that day and I will be baking/cooking/setting up all day.

    So, I might be able to make the 1st or the 8th.  Maybe. 

    Sheesh.

  • Your house is fine with me and anyone who would like to carpool with me is welcome as well. 

    I think anytime except 10/29 is fine by me. I'm feeling festive for Halloween this year.  :)

  • So far anything is fine by me in October except for 10/1 as I will be in Las Vegas.  I love the book--all I want to do is read it.

    If we pick the 8th, I may just spend the night dowtown or in FW after Angela's wedding.  Seriously.

  • My first choices would be the 1st or the 22nd but any of the weekends listed would work.

    I am also going to make yummy stuff regardless of venue, so either of choice of those is fine with me too. Haha!

    ETA: Argh, Lacey is out the 22nd and Stephie the 1st, so I retract my statement! Any weekend is awesome!

    No please don't pick 10/1 as that is the only day I can't come!

    Ok. My first choice is anything that works for everyone! Except 10/15 -- Randall might kill me if you are all my house on my anniversary!

    I'm pretty excited to meet Titan.   Possibly more excited about that then the book club itself.  :)

    Haha! Randall asked me if he needed to take him to the doggie daycare while you were all there and I told him you guys might kill me if you didn't get to meet him!

    Noooo!!!   Well, maybe... because I may try to steal him.  I wonder how far I could get with him without being caught.

    I am fine with any weekend and I second being excited about meeting Titan!

  • I am out for October.  The month is just so crazy and I need a break from heavy books.  However, I will truly miss all of the baked goodies that will be present!
  • Ok so that really already only leaves 10/8 or 10/22.  Either is fine with me but both are bad for Lacey--although the 8th might work.

  • I am fine with meeting at your place and right now I don't have anything planned for any of the weekends.

    Haha.  I ruin everything.  I know for sure I absolutely cannot make it on 10/22.  The other event may not be on the 8th at all.  Also, it may be later in the day.  It's not scheduled, yet, so it's hard for me to say.  Let me send out an email and see if I can find anymore info on it.

  • I'm good for any weekend except the 29 because our friends host an annual Halloween party and I'm guessing it will be that day.

    He doesn't really fit into a handbag!

    Randall just told me he has plans 10/8 - so that would actually work out really well. How's 10/8 from 12-2 or 11-1 for everyone? Maybe Lacey will be able to come.

  • I'm going to sneak him out ... disguise him as a man with a hat and a coat and let him sit in my front seat.

    10/8 either time is A-OK for me.

    Yeah, go ahead and set the day that works best for everyone else.  If I can come, I will.  If not.  No big deal, I'll catch the next one.  :)

  • If you guys don't mind me being there. I'm free as of now. Granted that doesn't last for long.
  • Woo hoo, afterparty in my room after Angela's wedding!  Now to find one...

    Yay!  I'll be there this month too... almost done with the book.

    I'll be there for the after party but the next day starts my three day weekend and I'm hoping to convince Bill that we need to get away.  Since that's The Weekend from Hell, I would like to be away before I get crushed by the two sides.  

    PS:  I hope that I don't offend anyone with that, but having lived in Dallas all my life, I hate the traffic that weekend brings and that Saturday literally will be hell with half of OK coming across the border.  

  • I can't do the weekend of the 8th, but I think the others would work.

    I demand that you get the book and read it now.  Andale!

  • I LOVED this book.  I can't do the 8th or the 15th.  Any other date is good, and I'm totally fine coming to your house.

  • If 10/1 ends up being good for everyone except me, then that's fine.  I'm still going to enjoy reading the book even if I can't make the meeting.
  • I'm pretty open right now - we might be going somewhere for DH's birthday, but it's up in the air completely (as in, we might not even go).  So, any weekend should be fine except the 29th - yay, Halloween!  I'm fine with driving out to your house, Leslie!
  • I can also do the 1st.  My event ended up being moved to the 15th.
