I have a confession

I read the end of the books first. I do, I can't help it. Sometimes the last chapter, sometimes the last page or just the last sentence. OK, I could probably help it but I don't. I just don't like surprises. I am much more comfortable reading a book that has a predictable ending then it being a surprise. Throughout my life I have proven to friends and family that surprises for are a big no no. I don't like them unless I have NO idea its coming. Then it had better be REALLY GOOD!

So don't give me a bad time about reading the end of the book (Mom). I'll do my best not to let loose any spoilers. But for me... the book is so much more enjoyable if I have that ace up my sleeve.

Off the Ground

Having a bit of trouble getting this off the ground. I thought I would add a twist. I think that as we read books we can post "our" reviews here for others to check out. Still pick a book, maybe when things slow down after the marathon, to discuss over a 8-12 mile long run once a month and debrief here. Still take turns picking and leading the discussion. Still being a book club but with the benefit of using each others readings to help us decide what personally we can read next. My favorite part of finding a book is discussing it with a friend first to find what she loved or hated about it. What do you think girls?

Our First mile(stone)

After talking to the girls on Tuesday Night I thought I just might start a page for us to make a decision on what we might want to read and when we might want to get together. So Liz, Vicki and Linda... What do you think? Here's some books I was thinking about:

The Secret Life of Bees

The Story of Edgar Sawtelle

Three Cups of Tea Thats the book in common for Chico this year.

Vicki said she is starting to read Lolita which is easily excessible through the library. I checked and they have serveral avalible to borrow.

So comment to me and let me know what you girls think. What week we might want to talk about the books, if we want to have a moderator or will we take turns. Will those weeks also include a place for champagne brunch afterwards (you know to refuel)?
