Hi Girls!
Well, I think this book choosing round has a dragged on a little too long! I was waiting for everyone to make a suggestion, but I think now that we have so many members (which is GREAT by the way!), it is just too many options. How does everyone feel about changing it up next month, and asking each member to suggest only one book? And letting the voting go on for only one week? Then anyone who hasn't made their suggestion by the deadline will have to hold on to it till next round. I think this will make the book choosing go faster.
As for now - I am going to take charge and narrow the books down to THREE top choices.
1. Aleph, by Paulo Coelho
2. Middlesex, by Jeffrey Eugenides
3. Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, by Jonathan Foer
There were lots of great suggestions and it was hard to narrow it down, if I didn't include a book you're interested in, please make sure to suggest it again next time!
Now lets vote! Please let us know which book you would like to read by this Saturday, January 28th!

My vote is Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
I'm a toss up between extremely loud and middlesex. They both look super good!
Mine is Aleph!
Middlesex would be my first choice, but I am happy to read extremely loud and incredibly close, as that seems to be the more popular pick!

Just reposting Cheryl's vote here - so we can keep a tally.

I am not sure if everyone is done posting, these all look like interesting books. I think after reading all these, i'm most interested in reading 'Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close'.
I also just finished the 'Language of Flowers' as well, and I really liked it.
Number 3 for me.
Hmm... looks like extremely loud and incredibly close wins out this time. It should be good! And maybe we can all watch the movie after? (Hopefully it's better than the other boleyn girl!).
New girls - please take a few minutes to suggest/ vote for a book next time. We would love to hear your ideas!
We have about three weeks until the next meet up, so lets get reading! See you all then :)
XOXO
Oh, and I bought the book already.
I've just read the intro and it's really good!
Hi girls!
How are you doing? I'm excited to have you all over for Indian style tea! If there's any type of tea you prefer to have, please bring that and I will take care of the food.
My address is 9236 124A Street, Surrey and my cell is 604-781-0004, just call me for directions or if you get lost! I hope 1pm is alright with everyone. Also I need to know how many people are coming, as I don't know how many newbies there are?
Thanks! See you Sunday!
