First King of Shannara 3/31/04

At Tami Sorensen's home.

First King of Shannara by Terry Brooks

I forgot my notebook this book club! oops.
LOTS of mixed reviews. Most who attempted to read First King of Shannara gave up. To many of us, this was a very new genre.  It was like learning a different language. Tami loved it! Fantasy is her genre through and through. As a book club we were not discouraged though! We would have more picks in this realm to come.
**fantasy update see 7/2004 Dragonflight, 9/2006 The Golden Compass or 5/2010 Graceling **

(De Dotson review by email)

The Poetry Moment was an extra special one as Sheri McEntire shared her talent with us. "Eye of the Storm" had us all reflecting on our life's choices.

We came up with some great book ideas for the coming months and had picks all the way through July! Truth be told we didn't keep to all our picks but it was nice to feign organization! ;-)

I remember this night well because my husband had just come back from a trip to the new Maui Krispy Kreme and brought back 2 dozen donuts for us to enjoy.
