What are you reading right now?

I have to admit, I usually am in the middle of about 4 books at a time. I don't know how I do it but it happens. Usually, I start out reading a book and it will be good. Then somehow I end up with a stack of books on my nightstand.

The one I am most ashamed of is one of the books in the Outlander series. I so love those books. But I got stuck in the middle of the second book for about a year. Then I picked it back up and finished it. I flew through it and book #3. Now I have been stuck on book #4 for about 2 years. Maybe it is time for me to pick it back up.

Anyway, here are the books that I a reading right now:

The Key to Rebecca by Ken Follet
New Moon by Stephanie Meyer
Captains and Kings by Taylor Caldwell

Please post the books you are reading on our Book Club website in the "Comments" section!

This is a test!

No, not really a test. I was just trying to get everyone's attention! Hi! Welcome!

To get an idea about what our Book Club members like to read, answer this question:

If you could only have 3 books in your personal library for the rest of your life, what three books would you want to read over and over again? Do you even like to read books more than once?

Let us know!

For me, this is still a hard question.... One of my favorite books that I would like to read again is Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier. My second choice would be......hmmm..... The Runaway Jury by John Grishom. Third choice would be any book by Jude Deveraux. Gotta have a little of everything!

We are Organized!

Friends!

Welcome to our Book Club. We will have our meetings on the first Tuesdays of each month. Our first meeting will be on Tuesday, October 7th. We will keep you posted on the location. Please plan to join us to discuss the book, our club name, and the basic guidelines for our Book Club!

Our first book is Cranberry Queen by Kathleen DeMarco. I found it on Amazon for $11.01. Books-A-Million.com has it for $10.61 if you are a "club member."

At this time, Book Club meetings are invitation only. But anyone can keep up with our readings via this website. We can discuss opening the Book Club to others at our first meeting. Also, any out-of-town friends are welcome to join us in our readings.

I look forward to reading our first book and our first discussions!
