For those of you who haven't ventured down to the TVCH library recently, something new is happening. We have created our very own TVCH book club (Oprah ...eat your heart out).

Yesterday, we made our first selection and the book we will be reading and discussing is "I Don't Know How She Does It" by Allison Pearson.

So, head to your library, favorite bookstore, or online website, and get your hands on a copy. We would love to have you join us!

So if you ever thought about joining a book club now is your chance! Stop by and check it out in the library....just go to the main discussion topics list...and scroll down past the reality shows...past the TV shows....past the movies...to the bottom....and there you'll find it!

Thanks, Marysafan. This is great news! I just got that book from the library and will enjoy reading it and discussing it with everyone. This is a great idea!

I am hold #24 for the first copy returned in our library system! What is the scheduled discussion date? Typed discussion or chat?

HI TN!! Good seeing you.

The book chapters are being set up in the book club area. They'll be there for when you get to that chapter in the book.

Also, some people are finding the book at Ebay.

It is set up for a typed discussion by chapter.

This is really neat...because we can't all read it at the same time...nor do we all read at the same speed so...as you finish each chapter (the chapters I am happy to report are quite short)....you can simply go and join the discussion on that chapter.

That way there is an ongoing discussion for each chapter and no one is spoiling anything. The discussions for the first two chapters have started, but will kick into a high gear as more people get their copies.

After everyone has read the book, a chat discussion might be nice. This is our first time...so we are open to suggestions.

Sounds good. FYI, when you order 2 or more books from Barnes and Noble online you get free shipping. I always take advantage of that. I'm going there now to see about ordering the Pearson book.

We're taking early suggestions for the next book. It's going to take a while for us to finish the first one..but this will give people time to find the next one, too.
