I am a reader...big time. I always have at least two books going and I can't go to sleep unless I've read a little. A couple of months ago me and some mommy friends decided that we were going to start a book club so far we've only read 1 book (I guess it was more than just a couple of months ago) Mia King's Good Things. It was a light, fun read. It got a little too graphic on the more umm...personal scenes for my taste but other than that I enjoyed it.
We spent New Years with my in-laws ( we dined almond champagne and yummy blue cheese pizza from Whole Foods) and silly me forgot my book! Even though I was super tired at the end of the evening I couldn't go to sleep. Thankfully, my MIL has a little shelf stocked with books in her guest room for a crazy people like me! I grabbed a book called Loving Frank by Nancy Horan and started to read. So far so good, but every time I say to someone that I've started reading it they say it's disturbing and it's not the part about two characters having an affair. Yikes!
So I've decided to take my mommy friends on a little disturbing ride and yes we are all reading Loving Frank. I still have no idea what the disturbing part is, but I guess I'll soon find out. Should make for an interesting brunch! I may no longer be allowed to pick our reads.
*A book I have read and would HIGHLY recommend is Shanghai Girls by Lisa See. A friend of mine is reading another book by her called Snow Flower and the Secret Fan and says it's good one, too!

What a fun night that was on New Year's Eve. Keep me posted on how you like the book. I'll have to check out Shanghai Girls (I also own Snow Flower and the Secret Fan if you need to borrow that one).

I am interested to see how the Book Club book goes. Thanks for the recommendations! I am a reader too. A fav of mine: The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. It's a mouthful, but a wonderful book. I absolutely fell in love with the characters!
