1 Book 2 Months

Because our lives are so busy I think we should extend the book club to two months per book.

Please post a review when you have completed reading the book. Also, please share any other books that you have read.

Happy October

Well, it's a new month and I still haven't finished the book for September... I started it but had the hardest time getting into it. Kirsten said to just push through it because it got better, but it just isn't gonna happen. So I look forward to the October's book while Avery sleeps :)

Potatoe Pie

I thought this book was very interesting and well written. I did not like the format though. I get bored with the letter format. I feel (not just with this book) that the letters leave too much out. I want dialogue and action. This author did do a great job in describing the characters personalities though. Quite an odd assortment. I enjoyed the little bit of information that was given about the Guersney Island.
I thought that Juliet was a little uppity about some things and wondered how she captured the hearts of the book club so quickly.

Hi all, I read this book earlier in the summer and loved it. I learn things about the war that I didn't know, and I love to learn new things. While the book had a lot of sadness, the kindness of the people of Guernsey gave the story a sense of hope. I didn't like the girl who went down to write the story, at first, but got to like her better as the book progressed.

We hope you enjoy this book and we look forward to your thoughts about it!

Well, I finally finished Peace Like a River. I can't say I am huge fan of the book, but it was an interesting bedtime read. I am not too critical of books, but this one took me awhile to get into and a long time to finish. It didn't capture my attention enough to want to keep reading to see what happened next. The characters, however, were well developed and I agree that Swede did make the book more enjoyable.

4 of 5 stars

I liked Peace Like A River. It was very entertaining, and thought provoking. I loved Swede. She made the book so much better! Especially her poems about Sunny Sundown. Very good book!
