Book for October

Hi ladies! There are several copies of "Embraced by the Light" at the library. We switched the order this month and Keri will be leading the discussion since Daneen is swamped with her move, etc.

Book for August

Hi all! Marie can't post to the blog yet, so asked me to add her book choice for next month. The book is Journey of a Thousand Miles: My Story, by Lang Lang, David Ritz.

My Take on Our Trip

Well, I updated my blog with our trip. If you want to read what I wrote, click here.

Book for May

Okay, so after much indecision, I've finally decided on a book. Because of language, "The Glass Castle" has been nixed. It's a good book, though. I would highly recommend it on your own time. "The Little Princess" is one of my all time favorites, and I was surprised that so many of you hadn't read it. Yes, it is a children's book but it is wonderful. So, I would recommend that one also! I was thinking about a couple of others, but I finally settled on "A Lantern in Her Hand." It's an inspiring book and I think it will provide some good discussion. Not a difficult read. I might save that one for next time. :)

When is it my turn to choose the book?

I thought this would be helpful to have posted on the blog. Mostly for my benefit, but others of you may find it helpful, too. Keri and Tanya are in charge of this show, so if you need to make changes when it's your turn to choose the book talk to one of them. I just post the info. :)

My Sister's Keeper

Hi all! I just finished a good book that I think most of you would enjoy. (Even the fiction haters!) It's called My Sister's Keeper, and it's by Jodi Picoult. It's well written and raises some interesting moral questions in regards to genetic engineering, medical treatment, etc. It also illustrates the stress placed on family members when a child has a chronic illness like cancer. It's got some language, etc. so I wouldn't choose it as an official book club discussion book, but it's still pretty good. Check it out!
