Greeting 7elements! Unfortunately again we were unable to have our meeting scheduled for April 25th to discuss “Waking with Enemies”. Everyone is working hectic schedules but again no worries. We will get it together soon enough.

The next book we are going to read is called “The Last Street Novel” by Omar Tyree. This book seems to have gotten mixed reviews. Let’s check it out and review it for ourselves.

The next book club meeting will be held Friday, May 30, 2008 at the usual specified location. *Reminder* Don’t forget to check back on this site to blog your answers to the discussion questions.

Until the next time we meet again…Stay Blessed!

5. Name one character in the book who your heart went out to the most.

Greetings 7elements! Unfortunately, we were unable to have our scheduled meeting on March 28 to discuss our last book. No worries though, we will discuss “Sleeping with Strangers” at our April’s book club meeting along with the following book.

The next book we are going to read is called (you guessed it) “Waking with Enemies”. This book was also written by Eric Jerome Dickey. Since it is officially the sequel to “Sleeping with Strangers”, it only seemed right to continue with the story.

Keep in mind that the next book club meeting will be April 25th at the designated location. Also, don’t forget to check back on this site to blog your answers to the discussion questions.

Until the next time we meet again…Stay Blessed!

Hello 7elements. We had our first meeting as scheduled, February 29th, 2008. It was a blast getting to know all of the members who were able to show up. Also, the kids were able to have fun getting to know each other, too.

The first book we are going to read is called: SLEEPING WITH STRANGERS by Eric Jerome Dickey.

This novel has gotten rave reviews and we all agreed that it would be a great book to kick off our reading.

Our next meeting will be March 28th, 2008. We will be wrapping up our final discussion on the book. Please check back on this blog to discuss the posted questions during or after you finish reading the book. The final discussions will be held in person at the designated meeting location.

Thanks for being a part of this circle. We look forward to each and every moment spent together as an opportunity to share, learn, and grow from our individual experiences.
