Epilogue Book Club

UPDATED 1/25/2012

Epilogue Book Club was formulated in April 2009 in Douglas County, Georgia to read award winning books, starting with Pulitzer Prize winning novels. Epilogue is currently meeting approximately every six weeks at the Border's Bookstore at Arbor Place Mall. Books are chosen at random from the list of Pulitzer Prize winners.

The NeedleNerds Home Page

Julie — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 19:59:14 GMT

The Needle Nerds are a group of knitters, crocheters, tatters and needlers who live around Douglas County, Georgia. We welcome stitchers of all skill levels. Our meetings are informal and there are no membership fees. Beginners are always welcome!

We meet on the first Monday of every month except for Mondays that fall on a holiday, like New Year’s, Independence, or Labor Day, when we meet on the second Monday of the month.

Please plan to join us on our next meeting. Just bring your latest project and come on over to the McDonald’s restaurant on Chapel Hill Road (just south of the I-20 ramp). We’ll be the obvious group of needlers sitting in the back of the restaurant.

We don’t have an independent website, but you can check out the articles on this blog, which is maintained by Julie, the founder of the Needle Nerds. [I haven’t posted much about the Needle Nerds lately, but will try to post more in the future].

For more information, give Julie a call at 678.321.6526 or go check out our Facebook page.

Finally! Some rain & cooler weather to signal the end of Summer...[well, not really the end of Summer, but still happy for some relief]

"The Hours" by Michael Cunningham is the current Epilogue Book Club book

Julie — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 04:27:00 GMT

The Epilogue Book Club will meet on Sunday, April 3rd to discuss "The Hours"
by Michael Cunningham., which won the Pulitzer Prize in 1999. I'm also
reading "Mrs Dalloway" by Virginia Woolf since the characters in "The Hours"
are related to characters in this book.
