My Book Choices for September

Since, as I said in my earlier post, I am a little burnt out and wanted an lighter read for this month, I chose children's books:

Beauty, by Robin McKinley - she is one of my very favorite authors

The Westing Game, by Ellen Raskin - a really great mystery!

I would suggest others, as I have MANY favorites, but these are two I think you all would love.

Discussion for August book

Remember Me- Mary Higgins Clark

1. Who was you favorite character and why?

2. Those of you who are parents (or soon will be), have you had a time where you felt your parenting abilities were being questioned? How did you respond to it?

3. Did the ending surprise you? If so, how?

4. Do you think the Remember House was actually haunted?

5. Any other thoughts or feelings about the book?

I'll post after others have had a chance to offer their opinions....

Discussion

I was just wondering if we were going to discuss the book for this month and if so on what day?

A confession . . .

I am a little read out. I think that between Harry Potter, Eclipse, and all the books I was reading for book club, and trying to read my scriptures, I am getting burnt out. Maybe it wouldn't be this bad if I wasn't fighting my kids for every second I get to read, but I was wondering something . . . do you think we could read something light and fluffy for September? Like maybe a children's book? I have a lot of fun suggestions if you guys are interested. Just let me know :)

Remember me

So, I just finished the book this morning and was again impressed with the book. I am definitely excited to hear other comments and talk about the book later this month.

Also, has anyone purchased or read the new book Eclipse by Stephanie Meyer yet?

HP7

It's been almost 2 weeks sent Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows came out. I want to know who has finished it and what they thought about it.

August Book Pick

Okay guys, I waited all day to make sure there were no stragglers wanting to sneak in their picks. I did this very fair; I made Amber pick the book out of my hand.


This month's book is Remember Me by Mary Higgins Clark.
Happy Reading!!
