The Rambunctious Readers

Chase Happiness

in everything they do!

Welcome to Our Book Club Blog

We are the Bookworm Buddies of the Rambunctious Readers Blog. We read all different genres of books and we love to chat about them at our monthly meetings we call Chatty Chapters. Books take you wherever you want to go and they don't take us all to the same place. Books are like a treasure and a treasure is only worth something if you share it with friends. This is what our Chatty Chapter meetings are about, discussing the books we read and learning from our friends different points of view. It's fun, it's exciting, it's informative and it's magical.

About Us

Although we are all passionate about books and reading we have many other interests. Some of us are soccer players, some are basketball players, we have tennis players and a lacrosse player, softball players, a karate girl, rock climbers, field hockey players, an actress and girl scouts. We can just about make our own band as well. Some of the instruments we play: clarinet, flute, guitar, piano, drums, trombone and trumpet. Some of us like to write songs in our free time and we are also big fans of Garage Band. Did we mention we are also professional cookie bakers?

Chatty Chapters Meetings

We have each kept a journal since we started our book club. We write about anything we would like to about the book and share our entries at our Chatty Chapters meetings. This has been a really fun way to start our meetings and to hear about what our Buddies thought about the book. We spend a lot of time laughing and discussing our different points of views and feelings towards various issues and people we read about.

For many of the books we have read, we have discussion questions. If you are interested in receiving any of the discussion questions, please email us at: rambunctiousreaders@gmail.com
