Blogging Book Club


I am going to put the Book Review Party Post off until May 2nd
because this book may be harder to find.
My library has a waiting list for it, so yours may too. Barnes and Noble does carry it.

Sorry, I guess I should give more background about the books I choose.
Silly me.

From the back cover:
The classic adventure of one courageous woman's life and struggles in the Arizona Territories in the late nineteenth century.

Praise:
"Clear, at times lyrical prose...providing vivid, colorful characters and historically accurate backdrop." - Washington Post

"Jack and Sarah are as delicious a couple as Rhett and Scarlett. The three-hankie ending to their love affair will definitely make you give a damn." - USA Today

"Says more about America than Gone with the Wind... I'd put it up there with To Kill a Mockingbird. It is moving, funny, and rings very true." - Mary Stewart, author of The Crystal Cave

Blogging Book Club

Okay, I have an idea and I want you to play along.


Why don't we do a blogging book club?! We'll read a book, post about it, and have our discussion in the comment section. I love reading and have all these books to read, and would love to plan a party that goes along with each of them, but making the time is a challenge. So, we can have our own book club party even though we live far away from each other!! I am going to choose a book and I will post about it in two weeks. (They will most likely be quick reads, and don't worry, I won't choose Emily Post's Etiquette Book.) Come on, do it with me!!



The first book will be:

These is My Words by Nancy E. Turner


A lot of people have recommended this book to me, and I am finally going to read it! Hopefully you haven't read it yet, and if you have, you can still play along at the Book Review Party Post in two weeks from today. I hope you will join me!!

SIDE NOTE: I also started a "Baby Sitters Club" in sixth grade, but hopefully this club won't fizzle out like that one did.
