Please return your completed permission forms to Ms. Ziegler's desk by September 18th. Once I find out who wants to be in the parade and whether or not we will have a car, we will meet and make whatever we need. The form is in an email that I sent out.
Also, please sign up for snacks.
The review blog is currently undergoing some technical difficulties due to a mistake in the system. It should be available in a few days. (Update: this issue is resolved. Thanks so much for the awesome review of Will Grayson Will Grayson).
In other news, we figured out how to make an ER code for the books! This way, people will be able to scan the link on the book with an app and be directed to the review on the review blog posthaste. This will be so cool! Awesome possums for everyone! When we make book trailers, we can also put an ER code that will direct people to the Youtube video. Also, don't forget to register to be an author on the Review Blog, which you can get to (as soon as the site is back up) on the page tab that says reviews. This way, you'll be able to post on the other blog exclusively for reviews. This is different than the authorship on the main A.H.S. Reader's Club blog! You all should have gotten an email of invitation for authorship of the Review Blog as well as the A.H.S. Reader's Club Main Blog. If you didn't, then please contact me at the club email.
Our next meeting is October 10. Tell your friends :D

Great First Meeting
Hey Everyone,
Thank you so much for joining A. H. S. Reader's Club! We had a great first meeting. If you were there, I have already added you to the publishing list for the blog. I still need Marisa, Nico, and Katherine to make a Gmail Account and email me the details. Feel free to write posts, add popular hot reads, add reviews, suggest books, add comments, add book- related events, sign up for snacks, watch book trailers by the club, and browse BFYA books.
Our first monthly suggested read is "The Fault in Our Stars" by John Green
This is an excellent book! Please read! We will be making a book trailer about this soon.
Apex High School Homecoming is coming up soon and we have the opportunity to make a club float. If anyone has a car, we can decorate it or just walk. I'll be emailing the permission slip via email. Please bring them to Ms. Ziegler by September 18th. Email me if you have any ideas.
This year, we're bringing back our book review bookmarks! The goal is to get thirty reviews done between all of us. If we can do it, we'll have an awesome pizza party!
I will need $2 from everyone relatively soon. Try to bring it to the October 10, October 24, or the November 7 meeting. This is over a month!
There has been a really neat idea to have a link- thingy- majiger on the bookmarks that will lead straight to the review. We can also put this directly on the book. This would be SO cool! Imagine taking a pic and being linked directly to the review. The problem is figuring out how to do it. Calling all club members on this one! If anyone can figure it out, please contact me or Ms. Ziegler. Update: I think I've figured this out.

Synopsis
Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel’s story is about to be completely rewritten.

Advertising!
I can't tell you how many times I have been told by other people, "There's a book club at our school?" Next week, our club activity is going to be to make posters! This will be really fun. This is a call for all artists and non- artists alike. Feel free to bring your own supplies (please no loose glitter or paint)! This can include actual books that we can rip the pages out of, markers, crayons, colored pencils etc. Get creative! This is going be really fun!
