Our book club is at that emotional sector of our current book; where the anxiety peaks just before the end of a book…do you know the feeling? The feeling of waiting hours before you read the last sentence of the book because you don’t want it to be over? Then, after finally reading that last sentence you experience such a low that you need to go searching for that next book…that next great book….the one that will build up the anticipation within you….that will give you that natural high again. Okay, yes, I realize that sounds like an individual who might have a problem…. I suppose my drug of choice is reading, lol!
We have officially completed, or at least most of us, Bloom, by Kelle Hampton. I blogged about the book earlier, here is the link for those who are interested,
And I am happy to say that we had the opportunity to meet Kelle in person and get our books signed. It was a book club first! I must say she is not only a great writer but also, possibly a fashion icon. Here we are taking our mini road trip to get our books signed….
Waiting in line to get our books signed…….
Here we are…guess which one is Kelle, lol!
We have read a nice variety of books, from fiction, non-fiction, self-help, etc. Here is a quick list of the books we have read in the past……
This book was amazing. It really pin-pointed the main issue parents tend to experience when disciplining their children, maintaining their own composure. 2 year olds are supposed to have temper tantrums, not 32 year olds. I would give this book 5 stars *****
This book was okay. She had a lot of valuable points to be made and ones that I agree with however the manner in which she portrayed the information was a little condescending and even hypocritical at times. I would give this book 3 stars ***
This book was funny and allowed moms to know that they are not alone when it comes to motherhood. However after reading a few chapters I felt like it became a little redundant. I would give this book 3 stars ***
This book was amazing….I would highly recommend this book! It was difficult to put down. We had a movie night after we finished reading the book and the movie pales in comparison. You need to read the book! Hands down, 5 stars *****
This was also a good book and a really fast read. We have not had a movie night but it is in the works. I would give it 4 stars ****
You can read my thought in the link above…
So, we are open to any and all suggestions. What is a great book you just couldn’t put down?
Before Ever After by Samantha Sotto http://www.amazon.com/Before-Ever-After-Samantha-Sotto/dp/0307719871 . I also heard Trapeze by Simon Mawer was really good. And Wanderlust – its Eat, Pray, LOve with more lust.
Ooh…these are all fabulous suggestions……can’t wait to share these with the club……thank you!
