Book Club 2013

I didn't do too well attending book club last year,
so it probably makes no sense that I am joining a 2nd book club, but I am.

First, here's the list for the 1st book club,
and tomorrow I will show you the list for the 2nd club.
Please do let me know if you're read any of these, 
and what you think, okay?If there are any souls in blogland today.

Jacob T. Marley

Since I like mostly memoirs, biographies, and other non fiction, 
I'm not sure many of these books will be a good fit for me. 
However, I did already read Oct and Nov's selection, and LOVED them.

Come back tomorrow on Wednesday
and let me know what you think of Book Club #2.

I left a comment but there was an error...so if you get this twice...delete one. :) I have only heard of the last two books. Stephanies is on my "to read" list and I did read Jacob T. Marley. I really liked it! It was a short and easy read and very enjoyable. It's his "side of the story" of a Christmas Carol. I look foward to your second list and also your book reviews! Keep us posted!

Thanks Scrapally....It's good to know about Jacob T Marley....gives me something to look forward to. You'll love Stephanie's book. I was not that anxious to read since I follow her blog....like what else can she say?....but Den bought it for me so I opened it up one night and could hardly put it down.

I haven't read any of these but I have heard of Oct and Nov. Good luck with your reading. I hope you will put posts up about the books. Some of the titles sound really good.

I read The Shoemaker's Wife this past year. I liked it, it made me want to be Italian! It's like a life history, but more interesting. :)

Grandma Honey said...

Hi Melinda!....Good to know. I like life history books even if it's in novel form so I will try to get this one. Thanks for the heads up!

I've read and enjoyed The Shoemaker's Wife.

I also read Heaven is Here, a lot of which I already knew from her blog.
