This year my book club has decided to have each member choose three books (there are four people in my book club). Usually we just throw our suggestions in a hat and pick at random. Though, there is always one month that is Tina's month as she sometimes didn't have suggestions. I love Tina's pick month.
This year there are three categories in which our choices are to fall into. A non-ficiton, a book from our childhood which we loved, and our choice. We are going to be making our list of books at this month's meeting, so I have been thinking about my choices a lot. I have really enjoyed reflecting on the books I read in childhood that has helped to shape me into the person, and reader that I am at this moment. I read Judy Blume, C.S. Lewis, Gordon Korman, Lois Lowry, and more. Some of the books I read I shake my head at now, silly romantic. I am still not completely sure which book I will choose. Right now it is between The Giver by Lois Lowry and The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Spear. I still have a few weeks before I need to make my final decision.
What books did you like to read when you were young? What books are you thinking to add to your book club list?
Hi, Meredith. It's interesting to read how different book clubs make their selections. In my club we each pick the book we want to do during our month. This year we decided to try and cover a number of different genres so if someone chose a mystery the next person had to do something different. It seems to be working so far. We've read Little Bee and The Ha-ha so far. Next up is The Name of the Wind and Major Pettigrew's Last Stand. I've enjoyed them all.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to read the Jane book. Like you, I enjoyed the Anne movies and plays but had trouble reading the book. Perhaps I'll have more luck with your suggestion.
I love how your book club is picking a different genre. A couple years ago my book club seemed to be in a rut as many of our books dealt with world war two.
ReplyDeleteI will have to put your other books on hold. The titles sound really interesting and I have wanted to read Major Pettigrew's Last Stand for a while.
