Princess Academy
by Shannon Hale
I loved this book. I'm so glad we chose it for book club and that there were so many that took the time to read it so we could discuss it.In attendance at the Paet home this evening:
Cortney Nadig
Molly Koch
Moana Piena
Rhona Slingerland
Lynn Lambert, newest baby Masen, and Lynn's mother-in-law Betsy
Joy Paet
Sarah Ohki
We followed the discussion questions found from the publisher's web site. I felt that right from the beginning of Princess Academy the decision of Miri's name by her mother set the basis of who Miri is and what she would become. She was not named for the linder stone but for the miri flower because it "conquered rock and climbed to face the sun" (p. 14). Princess Academy was filled to brimming with beautiful prose.
For April:
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
Because there are 5 Wednesdays in April and to give time to others to read the book. We will meet at Molly's home on the 4th Wednesday, April 22, 2009 at 7 PM. From those of us that have completed The Book Thief already, we believe it is a worthwhile novel and poses itself for good discussion and thought.
