Book Club: A Book of a Thousand Days!

Hey guys!

We had fun the other night talking about The Giver. Okay, so maybe we weren't just talking about The Giver. But it was great company, good food and some really entertaining background noises as Deaf Hubs was going to sleep while 2 1/2 of my children were screaming at the top of the staircase. It was glorious!

Really, it was. I love it!

So next month Kellie Hood chose to read "A Book of a Thousand Days" by Shannon Hale. Here is the teaser:

When Dashti, a mucker from the steppes of Titor's Garden, one of the 8 Realms, becomes Lady Saren's maid, she enters into a struggle between Saren and her father. The Lord of Titor's Garden has declared that his daughter will marry Lord Khasar of Thoughts of Under, when Saren reveals that she has betrothed herself to the young Khan Tegus of Song for Evela. To tame his daughter, Saren's father shuts her and Dashti, the only maid willing to accompany Saren, in a tower far away from his city. He claims he will only release them after seven years, or if Saren will relent and marry Khasar. See what happens when her father never comes back and the two girls are left alone in the tower with out any knowledge of his death.

Remember we meet on the second Tues of the month, making that June 14th.
Hope to see you next month!!
