Hello VSBC'ers. We've officially relocated to a Facebook group and will no longer be updating the website here. Hope to see you at the next meeting. Cheerio!

Hi kids -

Our next read, from the Comic Novel genre is Modern Baptists, by James Wilcox.

OR, if you can't find yourself a copy of that book, go ahead and read Going Postal, by Terry Pratchet, instead.

We'll be discussing both at our next book club meeting, Friday, June 26th, at Leigh and Shannan's house.

Keep your eyes open for a book suggestion or two that will fit into the Fix-Up* genre.

Happy Reading!

Leigh

*A fix-up is a novel created from short stories that may or may not have been initially related or previously published. The stories are edited for consistency, and sometimes new connecting material - such as a frame story - is written for the new novel.

For those of you not in attendance lastnight, you missed a rough and tumble meeting of the vsbc! Thanks Jen, for hosting in your beautiful new home, although it seems your back porch can be a kind of dangerous place. :-)

Here are the details for our next meeting:
  • We chose "Moll Flanders," by Daniel Defoe as our Newgate Novel read.
  • Our next genre is Magic Realism.
  • The April vsbc meeting will be Friday, April 24th at 6:30. Tentative location is Carrie's house.

Happy Reading!
