Book clubs?
19 Replies
I was just curious how many other Moms on here are active in book clubs or reading clubs either in person or online? What do you like and not like about them? Do you do it more for the socializing…Continue

Reading Journal
I have decided I am going to start a reading journal. A reading journal is a great way to record not only what you are reading but your personal reaction to the storyline, characters, etc. Writing…Continue

Michelle Proctor replied to Linda's discussion Book clubs?"I tried a book club last summer from Meetup.com. Although the moms were nice, it was a bit too Desperate Housewives. It was less about books and more about wine, lol. Another mom @skipperphoto and I are going to start a small business book club to…"
Anjanette Barr replied to Linda's discussion Book clubs?"Just started my first online "book club" at http://www.raisingthebarrs.com to coincide with the one I am leading in real life. Figured the more participation, the better!! My husband is a librarian and gets paid to lead book clubs!…"
Nancy C replied to Linda's discussion Book clubs?"I joined one a year ago and still have not shown up! I did just get the next book we are reading. This is a group through church and we read a wide variety of books and look for Christian themes as part of the discussion."
Dwana ~ Houseonahillorg replied to Linda's discussion Book clubs?"I have been invited for years to join Book Clubs but recently joined one online to support my friend AIDS activist Rae Lewis-Thornton. It has proven to be fun and engaging. Once I was an avid reader, but life has been in the way of that so just…"
Charity L. replied to Linda's discussion Book clubs?"I LOVE paperbackswap! They have tons of games, fun stuff and like you said, I have been able to get lots of books that I wouldn't normally have purchased in the store. I really like their games though. They make it fun:)

Jean McFarland replied to Linda's discussion Book clubs?"I joined paperbackswap.com a few months ago. It's really nice because you set up a profile with books you like to read and topics you are interested in. You earn credits to trade books with other readers. Basically, every time you send a book…"
Camden replied to Linda's discussion Book clubs?"I am in a book club, mostly for the socializing aspect, although it is interesting to read books that I normally wouldn't choose. My book club actually used to be our kids' playgroup. Now that the kids are too old for playgroup…"
Andrea B. replied to Linda's discussion Book clubs?"I am! But lately the books we're supposed to be reading are totally NOT my style, so I just go to hang out. :)
I read plenty on my own, though, and am pretty addicted to books in general!"
Beth Christian replied to Linda's discussion Book clubs?"I am in a book club-in fact. my group is coming over in 2 hours :). We meet every month. It started as a outgrowth of our local Newcomer's Club. I really enjoy it because it gives me a chance to stay connected to other moms…"
Terri K replied to Linda's discussion Book clubs?"I read like crazy, but have never gotten into book clubs. Reading is a very personal thing for me. While I don't mind discussing a book from time to time, for the most part I prefer to keep my reading private, it's a bit…"

SchooL Lunches
Why did it take me so long to discover the benefits of a thermos? I have struggled for many years to provide healthy lunches for my son. But avoiding processed meats, with a finicky eater, results in many uneaten lunches.
Recently a friend of mine told me how she gave her kids…

Additives
I recently saw a commercial that I could completely understand. It featured a mother who wouldn’t give her daughter a ham sandwich for lunch because she didn’t like the kind of preservatives in sandwich meats. I’m exactly the same way. I buy preservative free meats but they aren’t always easy to get. So sometimes I must go to the grocery store and the options for preservative free are… Continue

Leftover Turkey
I was trying to figure out what to do with leftover turkey. After serving it for dinner two nights in a row, and making and freezing turkey rice soup, I was running out of ideas. I was surprised to come home one evening to learn that the boys had eaten more leftovers. Who knew retro recipes would appeal to our son? My husband who grew up in a family well acquainted with Betty Crocker… Continue

Kobo E-reader
Hey everyone, I am a community manager for Kobo and wanted to share with you my experiences with the Kobo E-Reader.
I just received my Kobo E-Reader a week ago and I am so excited about it. It is even lighter than I expected and a great size to throwin to a purse or travel bag. The screen is only 6” in diameter so I was a little worried about how easy it would be to read on but you can increase the size of the text as needed and the no glare screen makes it…
