Any more suggestions..
It might take a little while to get the book club off and running but it will be worth it!
I personally would like to read 'A Thousand Splendid Suns' by Khaled Hosseini.As Sula said she loved it even more than the 'Kite Runner' which I adored!
I have written all the books down suggested.
Are there any would be writers out there also? This could also be a small component of the group.
I need to know the times available you are able to attend.So if we have it at mine as well as on this forum .we can compromise.
Thankyou for your patience

Just sayin', I have read a billion books. The twilight series is amazing. Best books I have read in a long time. Just finished the last one.

It is less about vampires and more about what would happen if "The lion fell in love with the lamb". The love story is timeless. And The kite runner is my favorite book of all time. Don't read Stephenie Meyers' for your book club if it doesn't fit for you but, I am so glad I did. The characters are so alive to me. Exquisite books.

I LOVE reading. Since I moved, I would be too far to meet in person, but I would love to join a personal thread!!!

Being a summer best-seller, it may be an easier book to begin a book club with, as well as easier to get the discussions going.

I think a summer read would be a great idea. I was thinking along those lines as well. I am open to anything.

We moved here from California. Sometimes I feel like I am in a different country lol. It's not bad, just different for me. I am from Arizona, joined the Navy at 18 and had lived in various places in California for 12 years until we moved here last year.

I love to write. I do a lot of poetry and I've done some story outlines.

I think 'A Thousand Splendid Suns' sounds good. I am open to anything really. Hope you don't get frustrated. I agree that it will be difficult to get anything done until school starts. How many more days????

Seriously! We have had a good summer, but everyone is ready! They're good kids, but they have had too much time together.

I love to write too, but haven't done much in recent years. Do you let people read what you write? I have always been shy about letting people read my work.

That is exactly it. My little ones are really tired of sharing the love during the day.
