The Forest North staff (and former staff!) met last week to discuss "Elizabeth is Missing" by Emma Healey. We had a great discussion about aging, the elderly, family dynamics and dementia.
We also announced our February title, which will be "Luckiest Girl Alive" by Jessica Knoll. We're meeting at the end of the month to discuss that book!
"Luckiest Girl Alive" is the 29th selection of the Forest North staff book club. We've been meeting since 2011, and were founded by counselor Jill Peyton and myself. We'll see you at the end of the month!
"The Martian" marks our 27th title of the Forest North staff book club! Think of how we've grown as readers throughout all of these titles!
The FNE Staff Book Club started in 2011. We read a book each month, chosen by a vote, and meet a staff member's house to discuss it, and announce the next book. Our November title is "The Martian" by Andy Weir- have you seen the movie starring Matt Damon yet? I have, and it was awesome!

The FNE Staff Book Club started in 2011. We read a book each month, chosen by a vote, and meet a staff member's house to discuss it, and announce the next book. Our September title is Go Set a Watchman by Harper Lee. This author is special to me because her other book, To Kill a Mockingbird, is one of my favorites, and I named my daughter Harper in honor of that book!

The Forest North Staff book club was started in the 2011-2012 school year by Mrs. Fournier & Mrs. Peyton. We read a book between meetings, voted on by all of us, and meet at a staff member's house to discuss it and announce the next book. Our August title is The Rocks by Peter Nichols. We're excited to be meeting at Mrs. Miller's house!
In honor of starting our 4th year of book club at Forest North, I'd love to give away a copy of The Rocks. To enter, just leave a comment with your last name and why you love the FNE Staff Book Club!
Did you know teachers read too? It's true! Every month, I organize a book club for all the grown ups at Forest North. Everyone is invited. We each bring a snack to share, meet at someone's house, and talk about the book. We always keep lists of what books we are interested in reading, and vote for what to read next. It's so fun!
This year, which is our 3rd or 4th year doing it, we made a commitment to read more books faster! We've been meeting once a month. Check out these books we've read this since 2014 started!
Are you in a book club with a pal? Are you in a book club with Mrs. Fournier? What have you read lately that you'd recommend?
