Welcome to my blog. If you're addicted to books, like I am, then you've come to the right place. I mostly write about books and my experiences reading them. These are very personal book reviews. (If you can even call them book reviews...) I’m a true believer that none of us lives in a vacuum. When you read a book, watch a movie, listen to a song, etc., you absorb that art form into your life experience, and it changes you. But you also change it, because no two people see anything the same way. The way I interpret a novel may be totally different from the way you will. It’s still the same novel, but the meaning for each of us is unique. Once you express that meaning, it changes the art. So these posts are about how these books fit into my life. I’d love to hear how they fit into yours. Please make comment and share your experience.

Inforum Leisure Book Club discussion for Prodigal Summer by Barbara Kingsolver

I am a HUGE Barbara Kinsolver fan.  I think I've read most of her fiction and many of her non-fiction books, including The Bean Trees, Pigs in Heaven, Animal Dreams, The Poisonwood Bible, Homeland and Other Stories, High Tide in Tucson (non-fiction), and Animal, Vegetable, Miracle (also non-fiction, and one of my favorite books EVER.) 

I've also read Inforum's September book club pick, Prodigal Summer, which is a great book.  I can't wait to re-read it and discuss with all of you.  If you want to share your thoughts as you're reading the book, please post comments below. Just one rule, if you're going to talk about something specific in the plot, put a spoiler warning at the top, like this:  "SPOILER ALERT---Do not read unless you've already finished chapter 5,"  etc.
 

Happy Reading!  See you in September.

Inforum Leisure Book Club discussion for The Help by Kathryn Stockett

One of my book clubs was looking for a place to post comments as we are reading the monthly selection.  I volunteered my blog as the forum.  Even if you’re not a member of the book club, feel free to comment anyway if you’ve already read or are currently reading the book.  There is just one rule—Not everyone wants a spoiler, so if you are commenting on part of the story, please be sure to start your post with the page number or chapter to which you are referring.  Example:  “Do not read unless you’ve already reached page 174…” or “Spoiler Alert---do not continue if you haven’t read chapter 5…”  etc. 
The first book is The Help by Kathryn Stockett.  We plan to go to the movie after our book discussion in August. 
Comment. Discuss. Enjoy…can’t wait to see you in August to discuss in person.
