$8.49 at Costco

Just wanted to let everyone know I picked up the book yesterday at Costco for $8.49. They had quite a few of them so if you shop there...its probably a really good buy. I also didn't realize, it is a fairly short book, so it shouldn't be too much trouble to get through. I'm planning on starting it today or tomorrow. Til later...

Welcome to the Sequestered Nook!

Hi Ladies!

Welcome to the Blog! I am so excited about our adventure together in this book club!

As for a little explanation to the name. I love this quote and always have, as it always fits my mood when I am really into a good book. I never have any problem curling up with a cup of hot coffee and big blanket in the winter or towel in the sun in the summer and becoming totally and irrevocably involved with a book. It never ceases to amaze me how easily I find myself creating my own physical and mental "nooks" when I get into reading. I hope that this little blog can help serve as part of that special nook for us as a group to examine the books we get into!

With that...our first book as been picked by our Hostess for this month:



Our first book is The Shack by William P. Young. If you click on the blue link to the left it will take you to the books website. There you can read the forward and he first chapter of the book online if you wish!

Katie said she has found the book at Costco for close to $8. You can order it here from Amazon for $8.24. Barnes and Noble has the book listed for $14.99. If anyone else finds it cheaper, please list it here and let us know.

Katie has also offered to Host the first Discussion Group which will be on Monday night, March 23rd at 7:00pm at her house. She'll send out directions as the date approaches!

Again, I can't tell you all how excited I am about this group. Please use this blog as a forum to post and share about the books we are reading (without giving away the ending or important parts of course.) I'll be posting all our books and meeting dates up here, so please check back often!
