Can it really almost be the middle of October? This school year has really gotten off to a great start. We had almost 20 girls make it to our second meeting and 18 at our last meeting. I love meeting new faces and being able to share my love for reading with them.
In September we read Artichoke's Heart which really touched several of the girls and they were able to open up about their thoughts and feelings about Rosemary Goode, the main character. It's one of my many personal favorites, and a book that I think every girl should read as they enter their teenage years. Suzanne Supplee is a phenomenal writer who has inspired me to work on my own personal goals and journey towards who I want to be in the future. She also was willing to Skype with us, but alas, technology woes and district blockage really bites some times. :(
This month, October, we are hitting up a little OLD MAGIC by Marianne Curley. Another one my favorite author's who really spoke to me with her words. From the moment I started the book, I was entranced by the main character Kate Warren, which is almost my maiden name exactly. :) I had a hard time driving home from Fort Walton Beach when I got this book, because I had to keep pulling over to read another page or two the entire way home. ARG! You know you've found a great book when that happens. I emailed the author to tell her that we are using her book this month and hopefully we'll hear back from her to share her thoughts and reactions.
Next Month, we are reading Immortal by Gillian Shields. This is another great book, but I will save the details until our next posting.
Hugs, Mrs. G. <3
