So, some friends have been meeting for over a year in a very informal book club and I've been meaning to go...really I have. I love to read and love to share a really good book after I've read it. So, my friend Kim leaves me a message on facebook that the book club was reading "The Book Thief" this month. Having just finished it, I thought it was a great time to get myself together and start going. Last night was my first night with some old and new friends talking about this book and oh so many other "must reads". I will not miss another book club meeting!
If you haven't already read this book...you must! It is set in the early 40's and was a story about a German family during the Holocaust. A family that did what they could to make a difference. And just a teaser....it is narrated by death. Not morbidly, just very creatively. I will say no more because you must read it!
Next month is the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society. I am very excited about this one...I have heard so many great things about it.
Other books I am reading: A World Without End, by Ken Follet

Welcome to book club world Lol, it's a really nice place :) One of my favorite evenings each month. We just read Guernsey last month and it was unanimously loved. Coming up - Ethan Fromme.
I just found your blog. It was so fun to have you join the book club! It is so great to be able to share ideas and our love of reading!
I love book clubs too...I am currently attending three different ones and they are really fun! One of them is reading the Guernsey book this month too. Both of the books you mentioned are on my top 20 list of all time favorites!
