Book Club!

So our little community has started a Book Club and I am thrilled to say I am a member! Granted we are reading books that I've already read but that isn't the whole thing...it's the getting out of the house and seeing different people. And I liked these books so much it's fun to reread them.

It is held in our local restaurant at suppertime, so we push a bunch of tables together and have a meal first and then discuss the latest book. So far we have read "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn", "Water for Elephants" and now we are reading "Saving Ceecee Honeycutt". I and the young gal that used to babysit our boys pushed for this book. I'm crossing my fingers that most everyone will like it.

I wanted to tell everyone about the website www.goodreads.com last time we met but I didn't get a chance. It is a social book readers site where you can list all the books you've read, rate them and when you read them etc and also you can have friends and you can see what your friends thought of different books.

My 2nd DDIL is also an avid reader and she told me about goodreads. It's really quite helpful also...it helps me remember just what books I actually have read! ;) I guess I just told you about it....maybe next month I'll get a chance to tell everyone at the book club about it. Until then I'm happily reading and sipping ice tea!
