Books


I just got home from our last book club of the year.  Lisa hosted a fabulous garden party and the girls brought a wonderful selection of appies and sweets.  The photo above is of the Melon and Procuitto with Balsamic Vinegar and Mint that I took - thanks, Christine for the photo!  We discussed our last book (The Chosen by Chaim Potok) and did a book exchange.  I ended up with Nicholas Sparks' The Guardian; some of the others that were given were Gone With the Wind,  The Book of Awesome, Sarah's Key, and Memoirs of a Geisha.

In talking about always being on the hunt for new books or authors and good reads, one of the girls asked if I listed what I read on here.  I have thought about it before, and think I will add a page up top with what I'm reading.  Hope you find it a source of good ideas!  And I hope I don't find that it reveals I read too much fluff...

So did you like The Chosen? Are you going to read The Promise? My Name is Asher Lev is very good also, but controversial.

Jan - I don't have immediate plans to, but one of the things I like about book club is that now I have a bigger list of books I'd like to read someday.

Mom - Thanks. You can't really tell from the picture, but that's Granny's pink glass serving dish.
