Once a month, usually on a Thursday evening, I join a group of writers,
illustrators, teachers and librarians that meets in the Los Feliz area of Los
Angeles to discuss children's books. Usually we talk about one picture
book and one middle grade or YA novel. This past month we discussed Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein and Noah Webster and His Words by Jeri Ferris. After the meeting, Sandy
Schuckett, a retired LAUSD librarian, summarizes our discussion. We have recently launched a blog called Book Chat Thursday with Sandy's reports of our thoughts about the books we have read. (The posts are backdated for the last several years so you can see all the books we've read since 2007.) We'd love
to have your comments too!
Our group enjoys eating as much as reading and our meetings always include a variety of delicious snacks. A separate page on the blog lists some of the recipes we have enjoyed. As time goes on, we will be adding more.
We have been meeting since 2007. The
group was organized under the auspices of the Children's Literature
Council of Southern California
