"While Others Sleep" is a mystery lover's book club at the Hiawatha Library. We meet once a month on the 1st Thursday of the month and we read any book or books by a designated author. This way we don't have to fight to get the same title and we all hear about other books by the author. We decided to name our group "While Others Sleep" because we all read so much and are involved in so many things, that we have to be doing some of it when everyone else is sleeping. What better time to read than when the house is quiet and everyone else is sleeping! I get up early most mornings, so I can read before everyone else is up and the TV is on. I found a piece of clip art on Microsoft Word that is perfect for our group: an owl reading a book, wearing a nightcap, sitting on the moon. Sorry I can't get it to show here.
This is such a fun lively group and we welcome newcomers. Usually we have 10-15 people, sometimes more, but I don't think anyone feels left out. We laugh a lot, read a lot, and share new authors with each other.
We also try to have some of our authors visit us at the library. In the 2 years we've been in existence we've had the priviledge of meeting: Shirley Damsgaard, Susan Wittig Albert, the Minnesota Crime Wave (Ellen Hart, Carl Brookins, William Kent Krueger), and most recently, Monica Ferris.
