Aloha Everyone!! It's a new month! The Book Club meeting time and date are still in the works however, this is our August Book Club Book:
Austenland by Shannon Hale.
It is a very cute book and at 209 pages, a quick read. Perfect for light, fluffy, summer reading.
from the PROLOGUE:
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a thirty-something woman in possession of a satisfying career and fabulous hairdo must be in want of very little, and Jane Hayes, pretty enough, was certainly thought to have little to distress her.
There are minimum copies available at the Hawaii State Public Library. (Maybe 3 copies)
I also have a paperback of Austenland I'm willing to loan, but it's still on it's way in the mail.
For ebook purchase:
available on Kindle for $8.57
available on NOOK for $9.99
available to listen iTunes for $12.99

Book Jacket Summary:
Emmeline Thistle, a dirt-scratcher's daughter, has escaped death twice-first, on the night she was born, and second, on the day her entire village was swept away by flood. Left with nothing and no one, Emmeline discovers her rare and mysterious ability-she can churn milk into chocolate, a delicacy more precious than gold.
Suddenly, the most unwanted girl in Anglund finds herself desired by all. But Emmeline only wants one-Owen Oak, a dairyman's son, whose slow smiles and lingering glances once tempted her to believe she might someday be loved for herself. But others will stop at nothing to use her gift for their own gains-no matter what the cost to Emmeline.
Magic and romance entwine in this fantastical world where true love and chocolate conquer all.
I love that last line!!
Aloha and happy reading!
