Prologue

Welcome to the Boyer Wives Book Club! As you can see from our About Us section, we, the Boyer wives, met each other through our husbands, who all went to Whitworth University together and call themselves the “Boyers”. Every year at our Loon Lake reunion we inevitably end up discussing our favorite books and authors. This naturally led us to the idea of creating a book club, where we could experience each other’s taste in books and discuss them in more detail.

Because most of us live in different cities all over Washington State, we decided to use this public forum as a central meeting place for our book club. You can always find the current month's book on our blog's sidebar. At the end of every month, we will each be posting our thoughts on what we we read. Feel free to read along with us and post your own reviews or thoughts as comments to our posts!



Please see our individual bios below!

Stephanie


Hi, I'm Stephanie Fevergeon, married to David of the "Boyer" brotherhood. We met when he attended one of my dance classes at Whitworth and found out I lived in his dorm. He asked me to the Homecoming dance to get Nate, the original "Boyer", to ask a girl out... and the rest, they say, is history! I got an Ed degree at Whitworth and then almost finished my masters at Central when two babies in two years changed my priorities for life. Now I'm trying to be a stay-at-home mom, talk my hubby into three more kids, and work a few nights a week on the side! I love books and would give all mine names and talk to them if I didn't have any friends :)



Kristin

My name is Kristin and I’m married to Kevin, also known as “Swish”. We both graduated from Whitworth in Spokane, Washington, my husband in music education/trumpet performance and myself in vocal performance. We were married in June 2007 a month after I graduated. I spent one year teaching elementary music and then stopped teaching to prepare for our baby girl Kiana, who was born mid-March earlier this year. Now I am a stay-at-home mom who enjoys creative outlets whether it be sewing quilts, making cards, baking, home decorating, or blogging. I also enjoy hanging out with friends, spending time with family, singing in a local choir called the Midcolumbia Mastersingers, and coaching high school color guard (my husband’s marching band) during the fall months. My favorite kind of book to read is adventure/romance historical fiction. I am excited to expand my reading repertoire through this book club!





Lindy

My name is Lindy Moyer and I am married to the "Boyer" himself, Nate. We met at Whitworth during my junior year. I was one of those struggling math majors who needed a lot of help, and he was there to step in and make everything make sense. The funny thing is I knew all the other Boyers before meeting Nate. Josh, Kevin, and Tyler were some of my first friends at Whitworth and I automatically knew Dave and Chris as a result. Nobody thought to introduce me to Nate though. Maybe they knew something we didn't! While at Whitworth I was both an English and a Math major. Currently I am a math teacher at Freeman High School south of Spokane. I have been at Freeman for five years and absolutely love it. This school year I'll be working part-time so that I can be at home with my precious baby boy in the mornings. I am also finishing up a Masters degree in Educational Administration along with my Prinicpal's Certification. It will be wonderful to finish up in December! I love reading historical fiction and poetry. During the school year I don't have much time for reading, but during the summer months I typically read about a book every 3-4 weeks. Reading is relaxing for me and allows me to escape to another world for a few hours at a time. My favorite place to read is on the dock at the lake.



Jaimie

Hi, I’m Jaimie, married to Josh a.k.a. "Shua". We met… online. He impressed me with his spelling skills and his ability to form complete sentences because he sent me messages using phrases such as, “How are you?” and, “I hope to hear from you” instead of “Wazzup gurrrrl” and “u r hot”. Our romance blossomed from there, and at this point in time we have been married for almost two years. I work full time in social services and occupy my free time with reading, watching movies from AFI’s Top 100 list (my husband's ambition, but I'm really enjoying it), hanging out with friends and family, being outdoors, playing volleyball, and doing volunteer work. I like books, fiction and non-fiction alike, that show me other times, places, experiences, and ideas through the eyes of the characters. I also have a personal blog here.





Lindsay

Hi, my name is Lindsay, and I am married to Tyler a.k.a. Billy Ty. He graduated with the other Boyers from Whitworth, and through all their stories I can get a sense of the fun times they have shared. When we all get together at the lake there are sure to be some laughs. I am so happy to be part of this great group of friends. Some of my hobbies are biking, shopping, traveling, hiking, drawing and painting. I love to cook and am always on the hunt for a good recipe, and I definitely love reading a good book while reclined on my favorite couch. My favorite genres are historical fiction and adventure/fantasy, and I really appreciate a story that is well thought out and leaves you feeling disappointed that you've finished it. I am excited to find new favorites through this book club!
