Book Club


I love to read...better than watching tv, playing games, anything.  I love to escape through the story and words and see how I come out on the other side.  Reading has always been a source of comfort to me no matter what the story or subject matter.  It has always allowed me to leave this world for a little while and walk in someone else's shoes.  And sometimes it has proven to inspire me to aim higher, reach for the stars to achieve the level of "happiness" the character seemed to have living the life I have always dreamed of; other times it has shown me how to appreciate exactly where I am in life and to give thanks for the blessings I have been given because it could be so much worse and I am so lucky to not have had to experience what some of these characters have.

All in all reading is amazing...but it can be so much fun when you can share it with others.  So, I am embarking on a quest to begin a book club --both online and in person--so that I may share with others what I have found, and even more importantly have others share with me.  I want this to be open and honest, and fun and non-judgemental.  EVERYONE is entitled to their opinions.  So, let's get this bad boy started.  Leave me comments about what books or themes you hope to see make it on the book club reading lists, days that work best for in person meetups, and opinions on books you have already read.  I am always looking for something new to get lost in.  We can discuss authors, poetry, short stories, novels, etc.  Whatever your hearts desires.  Happy Reading everyone!!
