What is, “Oh, so it’s kind of like my English class.”
This was Ben’s (11th grade) response after he had asked me to describe what my book club was like, and I responded that we all read a book over the course of a month, then we gathered to discuss it.

LOL!!! But we don’t have final exams with essay questions on them.
What are some books your book club has read? Some longtime friends of mine and I started a book club that’s been running for a little less than a year. It’s been such a nice thing for me. Each month one person chooses the book and hosts the gathering. This month we’re reading The Secret Garden, which I think will be fun. How about you, what are you reading?

I have just worked on putting together a list of our books. We have been meeting for less than a year, and so far we have read:
Three Cups of Tea
Kite Runner
Love Walked In
The Twentieth Wife
Feast of Roses
The Glass Castle
Bright Shiny Morning
The Last Lecture
This month I picked Nine Parts of Desire at the strong recommendation of a friend of mine. I’d love to see your club’s list, too! It might give us some good ideas for future meetings!

Thanks for your list, Chewy! I will check those out! I’m usually in quite a tizzy when it’s my turn to choose.
So far we have read:
Peace Like a River
Cry, the Beloved Country
Life is So Good
Water for Elephants
Marley & Me
Precious Bane
Snow Flower and the Secret Fan
The Shack
The Secret Garden
I have 3 Cups of Tea on my bookshelf; my mom sent it to me after she read and loved it.
