I'm a slacker!

I missed TWO book clubs in a row! I was really bummed out about it because they were both great books that I wanted to talk about. I started writing a post last month about the book, but never finished it (I'm sure none of you are surprised--I'm kind of the queen of unfinished projects). So I decided to ditch that post, and just get around to putting in my two cents about this month's book instead.

I remembered reading this book a long time ago, and I kept waiting for certain things to happen, but they never did. Then I remembered that I actually read "Pigs in Heaven", which is the sequel to "The Bean Trees", but never actually read "The Bean Trees". It was great to finally have a new understanding of the lives of Taylor and Turtle (and can I just say that I absolutely love Taylor's sass in this book?). I highly recommend reading "Pigs in Heaven" if you liked "The Bean Trees". In it, Turtle's adoption is contested, and Taylor fights again to keep Turtle with her.

I'm excited to see you all next month at Yvon's, and to meet all the new girls!
