Next Book Club: November 2nd!

EDIT FROM MEGAN: We were too busy having fun to take many photos, but here are a few. Note the pineapple full of pomegranate seeds. Truly exotic!


Yesterday's book club was a blast--I think Megan will have photos here later!--and we managed to decide on the next book club's date before heading home.



Please save Sunday, November 2nd for book club festivities at chez Greko, in Crown Heights.

Trying to decide between reading Kelly Link's Stranger Things Happen or Flannery O'Connor's The Violent Bear It Away. Please feel free to make your voice heard in the comments below.

BookClub is coming!


Hi Dearies! So, I finally bought my book today. I think probably most of you don't have it yet, so I will share a little info I gleaned today: The Strand doesn't have any, so don't bother there, but as of tonight, the B&N Union Square had 2 copies, and they say that the B&N on 82nd has it, too. I'm not sure about any other indies... anyone else been able to find it around? Oh, and you can also buy it directly from the publisher's site. It's an extremely slim, so I don't think anyone will have a problem finishing it within a weekend or so. More updates and research to come!

Sorry if this post was disjointed; I'm being a little distracted by America's Next Top Model.

Best Quote Ever

"I have a gift for enraging people, but if I ever bore you it will be with a knife." – Louise Brooks, from her autobiography, 'Lulu in Hollywood.'

I am working to have it stitched on a pillow by the book club meeting on September 28th.
