Did you know that Pam's book (well, she didn't write it) has a website and blog? I have been enjoying it immensely! And, if you use the igoogle feature on your computer, you can get an RSS feed directly to it and then click the links for ease of use.
My favorite post so far was this: http://www.happiness-project.com/happiness_project/2010/02/nineteen-tips-for-cheering-yourself-up-from-200-years-ago.html
It's 200 years old and so true!
Love!

Alright!
I guess commenting on each post is not going to count as participation then? Oh well.
I just started The Gastronomical Me by MFK Fisher. It's promising to be just my cup of tea! Just the first sentence makes me happy. She writes "The first thing I remember tasting and then wanting to taste again was the grayish-pink fuzz my grandmother skimmed from a spitting kettle of strawberry jam. I suppose I was about four." Love it.

Gimmee my 5000 points!!!!
Hoorah!
I am reading the inside cover of the new book I bought called The Happiness Project Or, Why I Spent a Year Trying to Sing in the Morning, Clean My Closets, Fight Right, Read Aristotle, and Generally Have More Fun. I gave myself credit for reading a chapter worth by just reading the title and subtitle! I chose it because, well, I'm looking for a better attitude...

Whatcha reading?
I've started The End of Overeating: Taking Control of the Insatiable American Appetite. by Kessler.
I want to read something funny, uplifting and terribly entertaining. I want to read something that has characters to adore.
My Aunt Connie has written a book called Spire of Kylet and I adored those characters. I'm waiting on the third book in that trilogy.
What about you? What do you recommend?

Helter Skelter
I am just 20 pages from the end of Helter Skelter, but the sun keeps going down and it's too disturbing to read after dark.
Last night however, I was reading it in bed at 9:30 and when I was done I read a little scripture and said my prayers and was stunned when I uttered, "Please bless my children and keep them out of prison." And I paused and I thought, did I just say prison? yep.
May the good Lord keep your children out of prison too.

Bad Girls Book Club
I thought there was only one of us, but there is another in Kentucky...I'm sure our bylaws are more interesting. For that matter, I'm sure WE are more interesting!
So, feel free to review books here. Make recommendations, give us warnings, we'll use this to help us track what we've read and discussed.
Our next meeting is March 11...let's have a theme (since this last meeting the theme seemed to be killing/murder/war)...what would you like the theme to be? Self-help? True Hollywood stories (the Little House on the Prairie girl has a great book according to Sue, and I heard Kimmy say that High on Arrival was really good too)? Children's literature? Well, let me know if you have a suggestion for a theme...otherwise, let's just stick to the tried and true: read a book and tell us about it.
