Over the next five weeks, the Weekly Book Club is hosting discussions of five bestselling authors' new novels, including Nth Degree, to help members decide whether to buy the books as holiday gifts. Each club meeting will be at a different member's house, with one at Ms. Arnold's residence; and each will feature a different one of the five books. Given the clues that follow, can you determine the Weekly Book Club's pre-holiday schedule: at whose home each meeting 1st-5th will be held and the novel and its author who will be discussed at each meeting?

  1. The Weekly Book Club's meeting at Jane's house is one week before the meeting at Mrs. Dennis's residence, which is one week before the meeting where author Stephen Meyer's new novel will be discussed.
  2. Pizza in Paradise will be discussed by the club one week before the new novel by author Natalie Sparks.
  3. One week after Ms. Edgar has the book club at her house, the members will discuss the new novel by Paula Roth.
  4. The discussion of Michael Albom's latest book isn't the one at Jane's house.
  5. In three consecutive club meetings first-to-last, Ms. Bradley will be hostess, the group will discuss Mindfield, and Kate will welcome the members into her home.
  6. One week after the book lovers discuss The Night Runner, Laurie be hostess to the club meeting.
