I’ve lived here for over 20 years but I am still often shocked at the drastic weather changes! Especially in the pseudo-springtime!

The past five days have been in the high 60’s, low 70’s. On Monday on the playground, I was downright HOT just standing there watching the kids. Yesterday, I was about ready to shave my legs, bust out the capris and prepare to show off my newest tattoo! Until my joints started aching and the kids started misbehaving. These are the signs of a storm.

Alas, this morning, the sun did not shine. The clouds did not stray. The sky did not stop falling in little tiny cold bits of water. It rained all day and kept at a steady 35 degrees until about an hour and a half ago when the rain turned to snow and the tempurature began to fall. I’m replacing thoughts of capris with thoughts of hot cocoa.

Boo.
hoo.

Horray! I’m so excited that some of you are interested in a bloggy-book-club! In order to get started, though, I need some background information from ya’ll who want to join. Please send your answers or thoughts to the following questions via email to me:

1. What are a few of your favorite books of all time? And, generally speaking, why did you like them?

2. When you seek out a new book to start reading, what sorts of themes do you look for? What aspects to a novel really attract you?

3. What kinds of books don’t you care for? Ie. Mystery, SciFi, OprahBookClubDrama, etc

4. Name a couple of books you’ve considered reading in the near future.

Giving me your thoughts on these questions will help me formulate some ideas on what sorts of books we should read and what we should stay away from. Also, once I receive your emails, I’ll reply with my own answers.

Next week is Spring Break for me. That means no school and no work! We’ll be in Topeka for a couple of days earlier in the week but when I get back I’ll start putting a basic blog up for this club and go from there.

In the meantime, if you’ve got nothing else to read, feel free to join me in reading The Tree Bride. I’m about 60 pages in and find it facinating.
