Moving On...

Well, I guess we failed at getting together in Merced. I know my six days there were pretty crazy running back and forth between two families and I'm sure you were all busy with your families too. And what is it about vacation that makes you incapable of being productive? I kind of love it. I hope you all had a great Christmas and New Years!
It is time to move on to the next book and I have made the decision. Our January 2011 book will be..


From Laura Hillenbrand, the bestselling author of Seabiscuit, comes Unbroken, the inspiring true story of a man who lived through a series of catastrophes almost too incredible to be believed. In evocative, immediate descriptions, Hillenbrand unfurls the story of Louie Zamperini--a juvenile delinquent-turned-Olympic runner-turned-Army hero. During a routine search mission over the Pacific, Louie’s plane crashed into the ocean, and what happened to him over the next three years of his life is a story that will keep you glued to the pages, eagerly awaiting the next turn in the story and fearing it at the same time. You’ll cheer for the man who somehow maintained his selfhood and humanity despite the monumental degradations he suffered, and you’ll want to share this book with everyone you know. --Juliet Disparte

I have already started reading it and I'm loving it so far. Tim also read it and loved it. Why can't I figure out how to get rid of the italicized type? Lame.
Also, Brooke Callister Ward wants to join us. Randi, can you invite her and give her access? I will send you her email address.

There is totally something about vacation that does that to me too! We'll try again another time. I'm excited about the new book. It sounds great!
