Host:Janelle Chapdelaine
Book: Promise Not to Tell by Jennifer McMahon
Location: Olive Garden, Stockton
Meeting Date: Wednesday, July 1st
Meeting Time: 6:30 PM
Synopsis:
Forty-one-year-old school nurse Kate Cypher has returned home to rural Vermont to care for her mother who's afflicted with Alzheimer's. On the night she arrives, a young girl is murdered—a horrific crime that eerily mirrors another from Kate's childhood. Three decades earlier, her dirt-poor friend Del—shunned and derided by classmates as "Potato Girl"—was brutally slain. Del's killer was never found, while the victim has since achieved immortality in local legends and ghost stories. Now, as this new murder investigation draws Kate irresistibly in, her past and present collide in terrifying, unexpected ways. Because nothing is quite what it seems . . . and the grim specters of her youth are far from forgotten.

I'm done with the book and ready for our meeting! :) I enjoyed it.
I just finished it this morning. I enjoyed it too. i made the mistake of reading it at night, alone...there were a few moments that i had to stop and look behind me to make sure i was really alone.
can we start throwing out dates for a meeting now?
Janelle

I've finished as well. It got really interesting the last 40 pages or so but I also enjoyed it. I'm available any weekend in June.
hmm. well as you all know, june is my birthday month..so it's going to be busy. i'm not really sure when i'll be available. i was thinking about maybe doing another dinner meeting? would that be easier for everyone to do? or would you rather do it on a weekend at my house? it's all up to you guys.

A weeknight is fine just let me know. Janelle, why don't you throw a couple dates out there?
Have you seen the previews for My Sister's Keeper" ? It looks good, but even the preview made me teary eyed, to I know I'll be a mess during the movie? I thought maybe we could try to all go see it together!? If so I want to set next to Mel because I know she'll cry harder than I will! WHEN is our meeting?

Lisa See is going to be speaking and signing books at the Town Book Center in Pleasanton (the book store where the Girls Bood Club was born) on June 10th @11:00 am. I'll be there to get my Sunflower and the Secret Fan signed, and wanted to let everyone know about it in case you're interested :)

So Janelle, are we just sticking with the 1st? Olive Garden sounds good, although I do always enjoy Dave Wongs and the privacy we get with one of the back tables. I'm up for anything. Just let me know.
