My lovely friends and I formed a book club in January 2007, and we’ve been reading up a storm ever since.
Today I’m inspired by Gentle Reader over at Shelf Life, who posted her book club’s selections (some of which I’m apt to steal!)
Here’s what we have been reading:
Like Water for Chocolate by Laura Esquivel
Cider House Rules by John Irving
All the President’s Men by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein
Shopaholic Ties the Knot by Sophie Kinsella
Series – Short stories/novellas for the summer:

“The Awakening” by Kate Chopin
Series – Children’s books:

We take turns selecting the books, which makes the mix interesting.
On Shelf Life, I read the words, “I love my book group.”
I just have to concur. Here’s looking at you, ladies.
