Just a note:

Class will still be in session, even if the professor is stuck on the bridge.

See you soon!

Who all were there? Did they have our table ready? And Appo and I will be there next month.
I'm going out tomorrow and purchase Death Troopers. This should be an interesting read.

We have to get our lives and routines back in line.... the sooner, the better. For those of you who don't know what happened, PM me and I'll explain. Its not appropriate within the forum to be sure.

Anyway, we are missing you all, we just wouldn't be ourselves right now. Keep those faces smiling, I can see you in my minds eye, and it gives me comfort. Truly. We'll see you all in person before long.... batting

And... to the professor, hugs Thank You!

It was me, Cungr, Jedimika, Jammies, 11-11 and Bulbous Freak. It all went well. The "official meeting" lasted until 8 or so and then me, Bulbous, 11-11 and Jammies ended up talking outside until almost 10. PS. Who is the author of Deathtroopers? I know I could look it up but I'm here anyway.

Is it Joe Shreiber? I'm not sure if that is the right author, or if I spelled his name right.

Hi there Jammies my loyal apprentice, we must do another poll for our read in December. I know we're just starting on Death Troopers, but Barnes and Noble need to know a couple of months in advance so they can publish our news in their fliers. batting

Actually our December book (the book we will be discussing) should be Deathtroopers. B&N had it as our October book. Yes, we're picking it up and reading it in October but it will be our "talk about" book for December. We should probably decide what our February and April books will be though.

OH! I just remebered my one main point from the book club. We were talking about how Zahn planted seeds for other books in this trilogy-- things you would not have picked up on at first, but only after going back to these books after reading his others.

Well, I was going to mention the Bothan's really really really wanting to blow up Mt. Tantiss. Later, we find out why.

That's all. I just forgot to mention the Bothans.

(EDIT: Woo-Hoo! I got the 100th post!)

I was confused at first about what B&N wanted. I see how they work now... they want to know what we're discussing at our meetings, not what our new reads will be. Got it. lol! O.K. gang, we're now "reading" Death Troopers, which will be the topic of discussion at our next book club meet up in December, which is what B&N is needing in so far as info for the flier.

Soooo, what we need to decide is what we will be reading December threw February. Whew! Coming outta the gate with such long legs is a bit of a stretch for me. LOL!!! They get all tangled up sometimes. doh!

The 100th post? Congrats on that Jammies! Your my special apprentice! batting

I just finished with "Death Troopers" last night, and all I can say is "Good Job Joe"! Who'd of thunk it? Zombies and Star Wars. Yea, Good Job! He pulled it off in spades. I'm no even a Zombie fan. However, I "am" a Star Wars fan, and well..... alrighty then! batting
