What is a blog?  For us it is a short blurb that we write when the mood strikes us.  It can be first person, funny or informative. In short, a blog is whatever we want it to be. Published May 18, 2008 at 7:33 p.m.

This weekend, my monthly book club met to discuss "Water for Elephants" by Sara Gruen -- which, overall, I enjoyed -- and the very next day, I got an e-mail from Sprout about a book club it hosts for kids.

Sprout's next book club meeting is Saturday, May 31 at noon, and it will focus on "How Do Dinosaurs say Goodnight" by Jane Yolen and Mark Teague, and "Grandma's Feather Bed" by Christopher Canyon.

It's free, and includes milk, cookies, popcorn and balloons, to boot. Plus, anyone who wears pajamas gets a free gift. This sounds like a lot of fun, although vastly different from my book club, which usually just includes copious amounts of wine.

Subsequent book club dates at Sprout are June 14 and June 28. Check the Web site for more info.
