Gimme Mohr, gimme gimme Mohr

So you know how the club has recently been completely obsessed with San Franciso writer Joshua Mohr?  Well, get ready to be jealous of me, bitches, cause I totally met the dude.  Yep, it's true.  I still don't quite know how it happened, but my amazing boyfriend somehow pulled off a surprise meet up at a coffee shop for a chat and signed copy of Damascus.  In typical nerd fashion, I was so overwhelmed/excited that I turned red and shy.  I wish I would have asked a million more questions, because he was so approachable.  He did give some really interesting insight into parts of both his previous books.  So now I feel like I'm part of the in crowd.  I didn't get a picture with him, cause that's not playing it cool (although there is a picture of me and Beester with Tom Robbins somewhere).  Kind of regretting that now, because he is quite the attractive guy.

Do yourself a favor and grab a copy, cause I won't lend this one out.

• I know! Can you believe it?  Sigh.  

October's Pick

Want to know what we'll be reading next? Watch Bess's video announcement to find out.

Okay, fine. I'll just tell you in case you're too lazy to watch a 1-minute Youtube video. It's called Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys. Our next meeting is scheduled for October 15th, so go grab your books and get started.  I should also tell you about our exciting news. Joshua Mohr, author of Termite Parade, found our blog and Tweeted us! It pretty much made our nerdy little days. We're Facebook friends with him now...  He's got another book coming out next month that we're likely to add to our list, so check that out too.

And finally, the bookworms have a Facebook page now, so things are getting legit.  "Like" us or "fan" us or whatever. Happy reading.

And the next book is...

I know. You've been dying to hear what we're reading next. Melisa announces it in the short video below. Check it out.

Too lazy to watch a 30 second Youtube video (Christina)? Fine. The next pick is Joshua Mohr's Termite Parade. I'll link a New York Times review here for interested parties. If the book is bad, blame Melisa. Just kidding. But seriously, read with us! We absolutely love the fact that we've got some virtual book-clubbers. It's made this whole thing even more fun (if that's even possible).

This cover kind of sicks me out. What do you think of it?
Grab a copy at the local library and get to reading. Due date = September 17th. I'm already excited.

Bookworms unite!
