Beginnings...

Well, here it is - the inaugural post for my new blog. I've been meaning to do this for a while to help organize and track our bookclub's reading list, and to share some of our thoughts on the books that we are reading. I'm also hoping that I'll be able to gather reading recommendations from my blog followers - everyone likes to hear about a great book, right?

We have five members in our bookclub - two of us have been in the club since it's beginning in 2001. The three other ladies in our club have been in it for more than 5 years. We enjoy finding new little cafes and restaurants to meet at every six months or so. In the next few months, I'll try to post a list of some of the places in Edmonton that we've enjoyed.

And finally, this is a way for me to explore the world of blogging. You'll have to forgive the simplicity of this site as I learn to navigate and create!

Happy reading.
