Hi Everyone, I have a little time at work so I am finally getting our book club started. I've come up with 6 books that I think are good ones. I don't know whether you would want to do one every month, which is the usual way or one every other month. I'm sure we can come up with 6 more books if you think one a month is better. Everyone will have to let me know. Here are the books:
Tisha by Robert Specht
This one is about a teacher in Alaska and I think it's true.
The Nine by Jeffrey Tobin
This is about the 9 supreme court justices and what they do.
Bean Trees by Barbara Kingsolver
This is about a girl growing up in Kentucky and setting out on her own, heading to Tuscan, AZ. Fiction
The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck
This is set in China, and is about a family and what they go through.
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith andAnna Quindlen
this is about a young girl growing up at the trun of the century in america.
Cold Sassy Tree ( a lot of "tree" books) byOlive Ann Burns
This has romance in a small southern town at the turn of the century.
Please feel free to add your own to this list and we can vote on them and then assign them to a month. I haven't read any of these they were all recommended at my book club. The Nine is the one we are reading in Septembe and Tisha we are reading in January.
I hope to hear back from you, either on the blog or on the phone. Love to all. MOM

I guess I am really stupid because I have been trying to respond to Michelle"s post for a half an hour. It won't let me do it with out signing in and I can't seem to remember my info. Now I have my information so maybe it will work although this is not going to go under the comment section. Oh well! I loved all the pictures you sent and hope to send mine as well when I get home tonight. It's funny that both Britt and I happened to go on the blog on the same day! What a connection! I love you all. Thanks for making my mother's day so special. You guys take such good care of me! Love, MOM
