Open invitation

I'm sorry to have missed the discussion on "Silent Spring." Sharon filled me in on what I missed.

Next up is Jodi Picoult's "My Sister's Keeper." Many of my book loving friends are amazed that I have yet to read this author. The great thing about book clubs is that you now have to make time to read at least one item on that ever expanding list headed "I Must Really Try This Someday...." From Jodi's fans I hear this is one of her best, so I am looking forward to it.

On a slightly different vein, I am feeling awfully lonely blogging out here, so I'd like to extend an open invitation to anyone in Owen County to post what you are reading here on this blog...even if it's not what the book club is reading. If we get some good recommendations for the club, or if we inspire you to read something you would have never tried, please post a short note. I'm thrilled that so many of you are coming to the book club, but I know there are more avid readers out there. Let me know if this blog is something we should continue!

Meanwhile, enjoy the coming of spring!

I enjoy reading many types of different authors. I am the kind of person who has a hard time finding a new author to try. Right now my passion is running for Mary Higgins Clark. I read anything of hers that I can find. I would appreciate some insight into a author that is similair to her so I can try another new author.

We got a great new database at the library called Books and Authors. It helps you to read authors that you may not have tried before. There is a section called WhoWhatWhereWhen that actually takes elements from a story that you previously had enjoyed, then searches for that particular combination in a new book. Check it out and tell us what you think!
