Hello Ladies,
Another month passed and we had yet another successful book
club meeting. It was actually the first
meeting in my new house! It was great
actually feeling like I had room to host the dinner instead of cramming us into
the living room. Anyway, thank you to
Sabra for the amazing dinner.
Personally, I think it was one of my favorite meals. And thanks to Heather for the dessert. One can never go wrong with Creamies!
So as Amy Jo just posted we selected “The Night Circus” as our March book choice and it was a hit. There was romance, deceit, magic, wonderful
imagery, and a unique story. The author
did a fantastic job of helping the reader feel as though they were actually in
the middle of this bizarre circus he had created. The characters he created were just as unique
and interesting as the circus itself.
And the relationship between Marco and Celia seemed doomed from the very
beginning of the book but I found myself rooting for them anyway. Those of us who finished the book rated it
between 4 and 5 stars. I thoroughly
enjoyed reading it.
Amy Jo was brought our book choices for April. She prefaced her choices by saying there was
really only one that she actually wanted to read…the rest were just
fillers. Luckily, the rest of the group
agreed with her and we ended up picking her first choice. This month we will be reading “The Unconquered” by Scott Wallace.
It is a first-hand account of a 3-month expedition into the
Amazon jungle in 2002 to learn more about the remaining native and uncontacted
tribes that lived there. I love reading
true, inspirational stories and I am really excited about bolstering my pathetically-limited
knowledge of the Amazon. My kindle says
that I have read 5% of the book so far and I am already hooked. It seems like Amy Jo picked another winner
this time!
Our next meeting will be on May 16th at
7:00. A big thank you in advance to Amy
Jo and Marie for taking care of dinner, to Rachel for dessert, and to Ashlee
for bringing our book choices. Can’t
wait to see you all next month.
Happy Reading!
Carly
