Book Club

Leslie and I set a goal last year the read one book a month. We did pretty well, and some months read even more, (especially when we were reading the Twilight series). So when my ward decided to start a book club I was excited about it. They were looking for someone to hold it in their home each month and I was fast to offer, knowing this would help me get the books read. I have loved most of the books that we have read so far here is a list of them:
Jan. - "These is My Words" loved this one. Very easy to read. About a woman living in the southwest in 1800's
Feb. - "All But My Life" - A Jewish lady that survived the German concentration camps.
March - No club this month but I did read "Tuesday's with Morrie" Loved this one too. A dying man helps teach his student important life lessons by meeting with him every Tuesday.
April - "Follow the River" - A woman is kidnapped by Indians in the 1700's and tries to get back to her husband.
May- "Letters for Emily" - A Grandpa writes letters to his granddaughter, hoping they will help heal his family. Great book.
June -"The First Ladies Detective Agency" - I have to be trueful, I did not enjoy this one as much, it was just ok. About a woman in Botswana who opens a detective agency. She has lived a hard life and tries very hard to help others.

I also read "The Kite Runner" in May. Good story and really shows how different cultures are. We will not be meeting in August, so we picked a longer book for our next one...The Count of Monte Cristo. I have just started it only 1150 more pages! But I do like what I have read.
