The Locale: Perri's & TJ's
The Book: Light Yagami is an ace student with great prospects - and he's bored out of his mind. But all that changes when he finds the Death Note, a notebook dropped by a rogue Shinigami, a death god. Any human whose name is written in the notebook dies, and now Light has vowed to use the power of the Death Note to rid the world of evil. But when criminals begin dropping dead, the authorities send the legendary detective L to track down the killer. With L hot on his heels, will Light lose sight of his noble goal...or his life? (From Goodreads.)Boredom
Light tests the boundaries of the Death Note's powers as L and the police begin to close in. Luckily Light's father is the head of the Japanese National Police Agency and leaves vital information about the case lying around the house. With access to his father's files, Light can keep one step ahead of the authorities. But who is the strange man following him, and how can Light guard against enemies whose names he doesn't know?
The Meeting: Really, more a welcome back to the new school year rather than a book club meeting. Not sure any conversations occurred about the graphic novel at all. But the girls swam. Moms chatted. And relaxed. Who did what over the summer. Who went were. Where will all the girls be going to school now that our younger members will be entering high school. Which older members have their learners permit. It was all good.
The Vote: No vote. Still in a summer haze. Kate needs to present 3. Perhaps two votes at the next meeting. We will figure it out.
Up Next: Me and Earl and the Dying Girl by Jesse Andrews. Meeting date @ Odessa's and AiYing's TBD. Plan for some time in September.
Updates: Conversations about lagging attendance as the girls become involved in other activities. As the girls grow and evolve, so it would seem, does our club. We chatted about inviting new gals to join. Moms too but not a requirement. Just a love of books and reading. Putting on our thinking caps.
Next to present: Kate and Ashley
Then:
- Emily
- Rylee
- Olivia
- Perri
- Cassie
- Odessa
