I went to my book club meeting on Tuesday. Hey if you ever have a chance to get into a book club I HIGHLY recommend it. That is if you like to read. I LOVE to read. When I was in my early 20's and didn't have any money to spend, I use to get home after work, get my pj's on, make a sandwich (I was broke) sit down open up a book and 3-4 hours later, it was time for bed. Now if I got calls from my friends I would definitely pick up, that took priority over EVERYTHING!
My favorite book, well there are so many, off the cuff, I would have to say, "The Stand" by Steven King.
Not only did I read it as soon as it came out, I hit the story exactly when the weather was the same in the book, but when they re-released it I had just finished it one week earlier. Bought it immediately and re-read it again. Incredible book.
It was my first "Big" book I read with more than 200 and something pages. I grew up!
Now, my club is reading "The Help"
I like this book, the writer writes a lot in the persons thoughts and even though I am a few dozen pages into it. I recommend this book. I was looking at another blog site this morning and she said she kept reading this book. I get that. It is based on the 1960's and their way of thinking, that is all I am gonna say about that.
If you do get this book, let me know what you think....
This weekend I am attending a book signing of an author I have just fallen for her writing. Her name is Christie Walker Bos and she is from Big Bear. I have read "Finding Delaney", which was the first book I had to read in the book club and found her writing, easy and fun. Sunday she is re-releasing "The Man List" and it is a fictional book that has the main character make a list of what she wants in a man. It worked, and it worked in Christie's life! Unbelievable! If you want something bad enough, write it down, my pastor used to say that all the time. But be careful with what you want, you might just get it. True words, huh?
Have a great day, now to get my foto for Foto Friday, that is a lot of F's!
Chow!
