Jo ("Maryjo Harper" <mjoharper@...>) is going to the Laurie R King event at Powells on Monday. Anyone else interested in going, maybe you can carpool. I recommend getting there by 6:30pm (at the latest) because seats are limited and they fill up fast. -malia

Monday, September 12th @ 7:00PM

Powell's Books at Cedar Hills Crossing
3415 SW Cedar Hills Blvd. (800) 878-7323

In this latest adventure featuring the intrepid Mary Russell and her husband, Sherlock Holmes, Laurie R. King takes readers into the frenetic world of silent films — where the pirates are real and the shooting isn't all done with cameras. Pirate King (Bantam) is a treasure chest — thrilling, intelligent, romantic, a swiftly unreeling masterpiece of suspense. "The Mary Russell series is the most sustained feat of imagination in mystery fiction today" (Lee Child). Editor's note: A prize will be awarded to the best dressed pirate, so come in costume!

Book Club meets early this week, because I will be on vacation for our regular
time.

We will discuss The Girl Who Fell From The Sky by Heidi Durrow.  She used to
live here in Oregon.


Our next tome is the Team of Rivals by Donna Kearns Goodwin.

Also for those of you interested in Andi's talk on How to Write a Novel in 30
Days, that will start at 6:30pm.

So feel free to show up for the first 30mins of our book club and then sneak out
to hear Andi.  ;-)   Her talk will be very interesting.

One of our member's, Mary Jo, came up with a wonderful suggestion concerning our current book, Team of Rivals by Donna Kearns Goodwin.

Since it is such a large book we are going to focus our discussion on the first part "The Rivals". This is about 320 pages and will hopefully allow us to all finish and have a great discussion.

I will admit, I was starting to feel overwhelmed by the size of this book and focusing on just one section will allow me to enjoy the book more than had I tried to force myself to finish it all.

Hope you all have a wonderful 3-day weekend.

Thank You to all our Veterans and their families for your service and sacrifice

Hi,

Thought this might be of interest:

STRENGTHENING COMMUNITY THROUGH READING!

The Everybody Reads 2012 selection is The Girl Who Fell from the Sky by Heidi W. Durrow

In partnership with Multnomah County Library and The Library Foundation, Literary Arts is pleased to announce an upcoming event with Heidi W. Durrow.

The Girl Who Fell from the Sky received Barbara Kingsolver's 2008 Bellwether Prize for Socially Engaged Fiction. Kingsolver has said, "When I first envisioned the Bellwether Prize, I imagined all the best qualities of fiction: vivid language, compelling characters, and clear moral vision. Novels just like this one--Heidi Durrow's breathless telling of a tale we've never heard before. Haunting and lovely, pitch-perfect, this book could not be more timely."

We hope you, your friends and neighbors will join us on March 6th to hear the author discuss her beautifully exquisite story about identity and survival.

The Hearts of Horses by Molly Gloss
A female broncobuster? It seems doubtful, but with most of the able-bodied men off fighting in World War I, Oregon rancher George Bliss decides to take a chance on Martha Lessen. Barely 19 years old, Martha has three times the natural horse sense as more seasoned wranglers. With a talent for breaking horses to saddle in a uniquely gentle way, she soon proves herself in a man's world, becoming an indispensable part of the fabric of the community in the meantime

I will be in Washington DC during that month. I can get someone else to run book club that month, if the majority of you would like to meet.
