February Book Choice




Happy February!

Thank you to all of the girls that came to the meeting this month.  Personally, I think it was one of the best meetings that we've had.  Almost everyone had completed the book so there were a lot of different opinions and perspectives.  Quite a few of the women actually finished all 3 books in the Hunger Games series.  I did - just like I said I would.  We also had a few first-timers this month.  Rachel brought her friend Heather and Ashlee/Ashlyne brought their sister-in-law Paige.  It was great having new faces.  Heather and Paige had a lot to contribute.  I absolutely loved having so many ladies at the meeting. Ashlee did a great job leading the discussion and keeping us talking.  Also, I wanted to thank Heather for bringing the rice krispies treats and Amy Jo for the garlic bread.  

Ashlyne brought the book choices this month.  We ended up choosing The Kitchen House by Kathleen Grissom.



The Kitchen House has a 4.5 star review on Amazon.  They say that it is a tragic story of page-turning suspense, exploring the meaning of family, where love and loyalty prevail.  I don't know anything about this book.  Maybe that is why I'm so excited to read it.  This is what I wanted to get out of the book club - reading books that I might not otherwise pick up.  


I hope all of you can come to the next meeting.  It'll be on March 16th at 6:45 pm.  Heather is in charge of bringing the book choices.  If anyone has any suggestions for dinner let me know.  


I hope everyone has a great month!

  1. Carly,
    I'm following your book club from China. I have a lot of time to read and always need new suggestions! I haven't heard of this book before either, but am looking forward to something new since I've been reading a lot of classics lately.
    Thanks for letting me semi-participate!

    I am also following this blog from home. Let's face it, there is a lot of time for reading when you are a part time babysitter! Last month I read all three of the Hunger Games and loved them. Can't wait to see what this one entails! Excited to see you soon!!!

  3. I'm going to buy this book and attempt to make it to the March meeting. The last two books, I had already read, but this one sounds really good, so I'm excited to read it!
