Ch-ch-ch-changes...

After today's meeting we have rearranged the book selections by month. The same books are listed below in the June 23rd posting, but the order has changed.

Because the CIXI has been so hard to get out of the library, we have moved it to January.
Roberta and Monique requested their books at their meetings (the way it should be!!) and so we have moved the CHILDREN ACT forward to next month, October.

Ann just finished it and said it is a quick read, really a novella, and should provide a good discussion on moral dilemmas and ethical issues - good for the SAIT luncheon. I have checked at the library and there are electronic editions and the one 'real' version has 33 copies. Put your hold in!

Again, the new order is listed, with hostesses, on the side bar.

Reorganizing...

Because the Chinese Empress book has so many holds on (as it is the October selection for Literary Kaleidoscope) we are going to shift our order.

Thomas King's book has the most copies and least number of holds in the library so it shall be the new September book, then everything will bump a month and we will do the Empress on for December.

Check the side bar for the new ordering...
