Hey all! The summer has flown by and it is almost time for another school year and more great reads. To all my fellow Harry Potter fans, I am beside myself with excitement (and sorrow) that the release of the seventh book is only one day away. (Save Harry!) I will be emailing you for a book chat and possible day of mourning.
The first Book Club selection of the 2007-08 school year is Eleanor Updale's, Montmorency: Thief, Liar, Gentleman? Set in 1875, it is the story of a man living two lives. By day, he is the wealthy, sophisticated Montmorency; by night he uses the sewer system beneath London to execute the robberies that fund his life as a gentleman.
If you enjoy this book, check out (no pun intended) Updale's other Montmorency books.
Join us for the discussion of this book on Wednesday, September 12.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the discussion of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. We had over thirty people sharing great insights and opintions. (The food was good, too.)
Has anyone finished Montmorency? I'm nearly done. I like the main character more than I think I should. I'm a little bothered by the fact that it doesn't bother me at all that he seems to feel absolutely no guilt or remorse for his thievery. Does he have a conscience?
I really like the site. It looks very good. I put a link to it from our Mythology Blog site. Boy, aren't we all just hi-tech?
