Uglies by Scott Westerfeld


The Locale: Ashley & Jian's home


The Book:  Uglies is set in a world in which everyone has an operation when they turn sixteen, making them supermodel beautiful. Big eyes, full lips, no one fat or skinny. You might think this is a good thing, but it’s not. Especially if you’re one of the Smokies, a bunch of radical teens who’ve decided they want to keep their own faces. (How anti-social of them.) http://scottwesterfeld.com/books/uglies/ 

The Meeting:  Had a small group, which is our norm these days. The girls had a nice discussion and played Contact, aword game.

  • Eve and Adam by Katherine Applegate and Michael Grant

  • Origin by Jessica Khoury
We'll met @ Emily & Kristine's on December 6th for our annual holiday cookie exchange and then on January 10th for our book discussion on Mrs. Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs.
