RESCHEDULING April book club

Fellows, I goofed. Next weekend Courtney’s mom is coming from Santa Fe to visit us, so I’m going to have to reschedule book club. I’m very sorry for any grief this may cause; somehow the double-booking escaped my notice until now (let’s just stipulate that I’m a maroon).

The next opportunity I’d have to host would be the following Friday, April 10, so I’m going to reschedule book club for that date.

Please make it known by posting in the blog comments (where this same message is posted) whether you will be able to attend on the 10th. I intend to host book club at that time unless most of you can’t make it, in which case we’ll have to figure out something else.

Again, my apologies to everyone – especially to those who have already finished the book.

Friday the 10th should work. Scot

I haven't read the book, and don't know that I'll have the chance to. Glad it's not the 4th, and hopefully I'll get a chance to at least drop by on the 10th.

I think the 10th is Good Friday, so I may be making tracks out of town. But the Church has shown flexibility on this date in the past, so let me check and see if that one is set in stone yet.

Eric Mater said...

I should be there.

10th is ok.

Rob said...

I will be there and I will not have read the book per usual.

My wife booked us to go over to a friends for dinner so I'm out. Getting into the book though, enjoying it.
