You have found the Longmont Book Club Blog! While we are a friendly group, this blog is intended for the members of this group who have found their way from the Meetup.com page here. In the coming days, this blog is going to be filled with much information, and good will. For now, please feel free to use the chat box below for conversation, leave comments with ideas, and get to know each other here.
Let's try to make things a little easier, cut-down on emails, and read some great books!!
Today I will be posting some basic rules (don't be mean) and regulations (don't be annoying) in the side bars. Later you will find polls for voting on which books we may read, links for books or interesting things, and a member list. For now, this will be mainly used for chatting and any thoughts you may have. Please leave those in the comment section. Also, you will need to register an ID if you don't already have a Google address, but it's really, really easy. I know because I did it.

Where Am I??
The Longmont Book Club is a group of people who enjoy reading and chatting. We get together on the 1st, 3rd and 4th Saturday of each month @ 9:45 at Borders to discuss books that at this point have been chosen by a different member each month. The 4th Saturday group meets at Panera Bread. To become a member or attend a group, please send an email to Julie at jmasterson7@yahoo.com for more information. Please don't comment on posts unless you are a member.
