Now Recruiting (:

Hello again (: As we near our one year anniversary (!!!!), we are attempting to recruit some new members. I posted a card on the Panera bulletin board hoping to attract some new faces to our weekly meetings. If you happen to be reading this because you saw that card, then I'm sure you have some questions. Who are we? What do we read? How much do we read at a time? When do we meet? I'll attempt to answer your questions here, and you may choose to peruse our blog further or to send me an email with any specific questions/concerns.

Who are we? Usually, "we" includes 3 working women and 1 semi-retired man. We come from diverse backgrounds that range from a grandpa to a mother of two to two of us Who claim our 4-legged critters as our children. We have one major thing in
common: we are all avid readers! We enjoy trying new genres and reading various authors (as you'll see when you check out our book choices!)

What do we read? In short, anything & everything! We have read a huge variety ranging from modern trends like "The Help" to classics like "The Sun also Rises" and "A Tale of Two Cities." We've read nonfiction, thrillers, local WV authors, mysteries, historical fiction, sci-fi/fantasy and more.

How much do we read? We generally read around 150 pages per week, although that number varies depending upon the length of the book we are reading. Sometimes we read a whole book in a week while other books may take a month. We meet weekly to discuss our progress. Which leads me to:

When do we meet? Wednesdays at 5 (or so). Meetings usually last until 7. We used to meet at Panera weekly, and then began to rotate restaurants based upon our book selection. For the immediate future, we'll be meeting at Panera.

Sound interesting? Come to a meeting & try it out! We'll be reading a political satire called "Deer Hunting with Jesus" for next Wednesday's meeting. A kindle or other reading device is recommended, as our local book selection is generally lacking. We can download a new book in seconds while your trip to Morgantown takes hours out of your reading time (:

Email me at n_foley@yahoo.com with any additional questions. Hope to see you next week!

Happy Reading!
