2010 Book Club List!!!
Here it is…the long awaited list of books I will be reading for book club this year. I really like how we have our book club set up. In December we have a meeting where we pick the books for the next year. That way we know ahead of time which books we will be reading.
January 2010- Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins- this was a follow up to The Hunger Games that we read in 2009. I enjoyed reading the series, but when it came time for the club meeting it had been awhile since I had read the book so I didn’t remember what it was about until everyone else started chatting about it. I do like the series and think the third one will be out soon. I can never read more than three books in a series of books…. so I hope it will be the final chapter to the saga!
February- The Romanov Prophecy by Steve Berry- I am in the process of reading this now and so far I am enjoying it. It is a different kind of book than I would pick for myself, but I find that it is keeping my attention and making me think in directions that I wouldn’t- so that is good.
March the book will be The Giver by Lois Lawry. I have read this many times- in my teaching days- I look forward to getting others opions of the book.
April Keeping Corner by Kashmira Sheth. I haven’t heard anything about this book. I look forward to reading it.
May: Marcelo in the Real World by Francisco Stork…. don’t know who suggested this one. Again, looking forward to a new story
June: Silas Marner by George Eliot: A much-beloved classic. Never read it…should be good?
July: Night by Elie Wiesel- this would be the type of story that I would typically pick up . Looking forward to this one.
August: Island of the Blue Dolphins. Not sure about why some picks seem like book Ihave read with students. I don’t remmber this story even though I know I have read it.
September: The Host by Stephanie Meyer and October will be Tales of Beedle the Bard by J.K. Rowling- not sure how I feel about these choices?
November: will the Two Old Women by Velma Wallis- I like that story
and December will be The Christmas Sweater by Glann Beck. Not sure about that one????
But that is this years list anyway. Should be interesting.
I also have been working on a double diamond quilt the top is done and pictures will be up soon. Haven’t worked on the melon patch yet and have a block of the month to work on.
Keeping busy.
