The Wednesday Letters
Hi everyone,
Please leave your comments on "The wednesday letters". I think it would be fun to find out what you loved or hated about it...This months book club has been cancelled (sincere apologies for those of you that had set apart that day, I hope you can fill it with something fun and exciting), but I am totally looking forward to Poisonwood Bible hosted by no other than Melissa Ritz in August. Happy Summer everyone!

I will be leaving town on the 30th (last minute unexpected cali trip) & will be coming back the 2nd week of August and i would be happy to do it on that Thursday, perhaps we can have book club twice in august?!! Well let me know what everyone suggest and I guess we will go from there...Thanks everyone!

The more the merrier!
Just wanted to let you all know that my adorable upstairs neighbor, Adriana, is joining the group! She is a sweetheart, and you all will love her!
Also, I know it's early, but next month's book is a little longer than other books we've been reading. I thought I'd give you all a head's up so you could get started if you're finished with Yvon's pick. It is another book by Barbara Kingsolver--The Poisonwood Bible. The writing style is definitely unique, and it was featured on Oprah's book club. So happy reading, and I look forward to seeing you all at Yvon's on the 31st!

July's reading
I am excited to host July's book club! and can't wait to see all of you and have another great book chat. I am sorry I missed this last one, I enjoyed the reading and recommend this book as well. Thanks Tara for sharing! I am actually already about 20 pages away from finishing The Wednesday Letters! and as I had previously mentioned, I am reading it for the first time. Totally not what you expect to read, so I am sure we will have plenty to discuss next month. I will see you all and yes YOU better be there Melis Melis! Take care everyone...Happy reading

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!
