Some really cool ladies and I decided to form a book club. We are meeting twice a month to discuss our current read. If any of you are in the Boise area and interested in reading and discussing with us let me know.
I thought we had picked out our first book and was just getting ready to place the order when I ran into a small dilemma. Which one? It seems that the sequel/prequel?? comes out tomorrow. Should we start with the first or the second book? Was the first book good? Any comments?
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith
I think we should start with this first one and since the publisher was nice enough to post the first three chapters online I figured I would give you ladies the link so that we can start reading while certain people who actually have a life go somewhere for spring break (I'll allow you to remain nameless I guess) and I'll place the order with Amazon Thursday. Let me know if you ladies want the book by Hockensmith first instead.
The first three chapters are posted here at Irreference's website
The book hitting the shelves tomorrow is:
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of The Dreadfuls by Steve Hockensmith
Another book by the same publisher that might be a fun read.
Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters by Jane Austen and Ben H Winters

NAMI - Boise Walk October 3, 2009
This year I volunteered at the NAMI - Boise Walk. It was two weeks before mom's memorial and this is one way that I felt that I could honor her memory. I am actually hoping that our family will all be able to walk at different NAMI events over the next year.
I helped greet participants and direct them to the right lines for registering and signing in. As much as I really wanted to just sleep in that morning I got up and headed out the door and for once I remembered my camera. So I thought that since a picture is worth a 1000 words I would just post some of the pictures I took at the walk. I took over 100 pictures but here are a couple of my favorites.
The Start and Finish Line before everyone arrived:
t-shirts for volunteers
Signs patiently waiting for their walkers.
The Idaho Steelheads were there to start the walk off right...
...and high-five the walkers as they finished.
A couple of cuties that were out enjoying the day.
I really enjoyed being out there for this walk and look forward to finding more ways I can help NAMI. I talked to a couple of other volunteers and they were all volunteering because a member of their family had mental illness. If I had thought about it that day I would have interviewed a couple of the walkers but at the time I hadn't decided on my research essay.
