New Year, New Books

Hello friends. Please forgive me for being such a slacker. I'm sure you'll understand when you hear that these last 2 months have been quite hectic with holidays, family things, leaving one country to move to another, job hunting & job interviews, etc, etc, etc.

I've also been pretty bad at reading lately. I did finally pick up Harry Potter while visiting family in Utah. I stole it from my sister's closet. And yesterday I read a childhood favorite, The Face on the Milk Carton. So now I have a few sequels to track down at the library.

So give me a few more days to figure out what book we can read. And I really want your input. I know everyone is busy, so do you want to revamp this club so we're not having to read each book within a month? Or do you just want me to pick the books and then whoever reads it will read it? Or do you still want to each make suggestions about the books we will read? Please give me feedback!!! If you're totally too busy to read now or you just don't want to participate, I completely understand.

If no one wants to help decide on which books we will read (and you just want to use this place to comment on books), then I will just start posting which books we're reading in the book club that I will be starting in my new ward. And everyone is still welcome to blog about other books (give recommendations) as well.

But I would prefer for each of us to take turns choosing books for discussion. I've really enjoyed that; it's caused me to read books I never would have otherwise read.

Let me know!
