Hi Book Clubbers,

I'm sorry this has taken so long, but the books for our Dec. 10 book club are finally in! Please stop by the East Valley Branch ASAP and pick up your copy.

Also, don't forget that we're MEETING AT BARNES & NOBLE on Dec. 10!! We will discuss the book and then I'll give you some time to pick out some books of your choice to add to the collection! You get to spend the library's money on books that YOU WANT! So don't miss out on this very unique opportunity. If your parents can't drive you and pick you up, please call me 1-760-839-4266.

Don't forget that book club meets THIS THURSDAY, Nov. 12!! Please bring all 3 copies of the books that you were given because I have to return them to the library that loaned them to us.

Those of you who come to book club on Thursday will have the opportunity to come to Barnes & Noble with me at a future date and pick out books for the library! So COME!!!!!

Also, FYI...the library will be CLOSED tomorrow, Nov. 11 for Veteran's Day. See you Thursday!

Thank you JOANNA!!!
Ok, let's get down to business:
1) I absolutely loved the doodles! it gave me a better grasp and feel for the mood of the story; and a clearer picture. I'm still debating wheather or not to call the numbers, but I just might have to today! :D I hope this is a future format for future books!!

2)I actually did predict something immortal, just bacause vampires are the newest craze right now. I wouldn't want to be immortal. YOu would see all of your friends and family die before you, i'm not sure i could handle that level of grief....

3) Never would I disagree that it is ok to kill tons of [eople for one cause. No. That's like saying, "hey, let's burn down the world so that we oculd rebuild it!"

4)I think Cathy is going to, hmmm, I honestly will have to read the next books to be sure!!!! :D

5) I don't believe her dad is really dead, but I believe he might've shown up in this book because authors have a tendency to forshadow events like that.

Sweet!!!!!!!!! Can't wait to read the next BOOK!!!!! WHOO!!! :)

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for a great book club today! For Jess and Michaela, here are the questions that we discussed if you'd like to add your two cents.

1. What did you think of this book format with all the extra "evidence" and doodles and phone numbers to call? Did you actually go to the websites and call the numbers? Do you think this is the wave of the future for books?

2. Did you ever forsee that there would be immortals in this book?!? (Total shock to me!) Would you want to be immortal? What are some of the pros and cons?

3. Do you agree or disagree with Ancestor Lu that the cost of killing a few people is worth the end goal of being able to make everyone immortal?

4. At the end of the book, where do you think Cathy is going?

5. Do you think Cathy's dad is really dead?

If you loved the first book you're going to want to read the next 2, so I've already put requests on them for everyone. :)
