Sherry,
Thanks for remembering about my book club. I must admit it is the highlight of my month..... (No life, LOL)
Here is what we read this year:
Larry's Party in January (so-so, not as good as the author's other books)
The Many Lives and Secret Sorrow of Josphine B in February. A historical novel about Napoleon's wife written as a diary. The first of a 3-book series about Josephine
Of Mice and Men in March - a classic - very enjoyable - lots to discuss in this one
The Working Poor in April - non-fiction - follows several working class families who seem to have no safety net
Small Island in May. Novel about Jamaicans who emigrate to England. I really loved this one.
A novel by John O'Hara - why can't I remember the name??? I even liked it - in June
The March in July - a novel about Sherman's March to the sea. Interesting story weaving together stories of all who marched - soldiers from both armies, slaves, and slave owners.
The Known World in Sept. - a novel about blacks who owned black slaves in Virginia before the civil war. I learned alot of history from this one. Kind of a good companion novel to The March.
The Jane Austen Book Club in October - only one person in the group liked this one.
In November we are going to read The Memory Keeper's Daughter. I put it on hold at the library and I am #541 on the list! I think I will have to buy it LOL
What are you reading, Sherry? Or do you have time to read???
