October Pick

I am over the moon for this new blog!  I have tried and tried again to start book clubs, but people move away...or I'm the only one who reads the book.  And, to be honest, some were books that I wish I hadn't wasted time reading.  Just not my thing.  But, I didn't want to be the one to not read the books.

And, maybe part of that is that we all like to read different things.  Books and articles related to our jobs, to our kids, to our interests.  That is where the inspiration for this little blog came from.

We can post reviews on anything we come across that we find interesting.  That way we each get to read exactly what we want.  In addition, we take turns picking a "book club" book each month that we can discuss together.  Fun!

I have to thank my mom for this month's book pick.  She is always giving me great books and recommending great books.

The Lacuna by Barbara Kingsolver.  I have read a couple of Kingsolver books, including The Poisonwood Bible and Prodigal Summer.  And, I thought both of them were great.

From the back cover:  "In this powerfully imagined, provocative novel, Barbara Kingsolver takes us on an epic journey from the Mexico of artists Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo to the America of Pearl Harbor, FDR, and J. Edgar Hoover.  The Lacuna is the poignant story of a man pulled between two nations as well as an unforgettable portrait of the artist--and art itself."

So, please join us in reading this month's book and come back for the discussion at the end of October.

Happy Reading!
