I just finished The True & Outstanding Adventures of the Hunt Sisters for book club which meets tonight. Since I chose it, I'll lead the discussion. While I was at my parents house I read Whitethorn Woods by Maeve Binchy. I always enjoy her descriptions of life in small town Ireland and her characters. They're real people with real problems.
Other books that I have checked out:
The Third Victim & The Next Accident by Lisa Gardner - my Mother in Law is reading them on vacation. I'm not sure I've read anything by Lisa Gardner.
I Stink! by Kate McMullan, The Big Book of Things that Go, A Pocket for Corduroy by Don Freeman and Road Construction Ahead (video) - These are all for Ryan (shocker!) I should probably get him his own card. His favorite, by far, is Road Construction Ahead. We'll watch it and he'll ask to watch it again, which has never happened. He can always hope.
The Grand Complication by Allen Kurzweil - Several people in the Librarians who LibraryThing Group posted that this was their favorite Library/Librarian book so I had to read it. I'm not sure if it's my favorite, but it's interesting and different so I'll probably finish it.
The Midnight Choir, Gene Kerrigan - I don't even recognize this title.
Room for Improvement, Stacey Ballis - Haven't started it.
The Man of My Dreams, Curtis Sittenfeld - I picked this out as a book club suggestion and didn't suggest it. I started reading Prep by the same author and never finished it. I'm not sure if I'll read this.
The Quality of Life Report, Meghan Daum - A book club suggestion that wasn't chosen. Not sure if I'll read it.
A Hole in the Universe, Mary McGarry Morris - Another book club suggestion that wasn't chosen. Not sure if I'll read it.
Lion Eyes, Claire Berlinski - Another possible book club suggestion that I didn't suggest. Not sure if I'll read it.
Jacob Have I Loved, Katherine Patterson - There is a book discussion group at the Library that is reading this. I checked out the Library copy to myself in case we needed an additional copy for the group. I think I read it years ago.
