Books My Book Club Read and Loved

items These are great books that spark thoughtful conversations for a book club. Our book club always has a variety of books - some I wouldn't necessarily choose for myself. Even if I didn't love it, I'm glad for the discussions I get to have with some pre...
Could you imagine knowing how long you're going to live? What would you do with that knowledge? How would it alter your decisions?
Well these folks found out... find out how they handled it.
The Measure
A story of going from indentured servant and living with the slaves to lady of the house.
Ultimately she must choose which family she wants to be a part of.
The Kitchen House
Restoring your life and identity as a widow cannot be easy. Lilian finds a community in a very unexpected place - a gardening class.
This is a great read of restoration, discovery and choosing your tribe.
The Garden of Small Beginnings
I have had so many discussions about this book. These women were ahead of their time in service and in their needs when returning from service.
I don't know which takes the forefront in the story line, the activities in war or the relationships buil...
The Women
You probably won't like the ending and there are a few details that a bit far fetched (when you discover them - tell me) BUT Nella's story of how she builds the relationhip with a young girl and what they do for other women is worth the read.
The Lost Apothecary
If you love a good mystery, this is your book of the year!
It looks like they're making a movie out of this and I can't wait to watch it.
The Woman in Cabin 10
There are parts in here that are hard to read and could be triggering. There is so much trauma in these stories.
There's also a lot of love in these pages. Kristin Hannah did a great job of weaving in the love (and the frustrations) into all of the...
The Great Alone
What if there was one perfect person for you? What if you were already married to someone you love and find out they are not your one perfect match?
This is a bit of a psychological thriller that really made you think.
The One
Imagine waking up and painting the most vivid and horrific scenes and not knowing why.
This one will take you on a ride over thousands of years.
The Memory Painter
A young girl finds a purpose and comfort in flowers when the world around her continues to let her down.
I had no idea that people could have entire conversations with only flowers.
The Language of Flowers
This is an easy summer read - a great book to read while relaxing at the pool or beach.
Yes, it's a story about an octopus but he's clever and brings to light things that the humans around him cannot see for themselves. It's a cute read if you just...
Remarkably Bright Creatures
Do you have items that are very senimental to you or remind you of a loved one? If so, you'll love this book.
Take a journey of the items and their once owners.
The Keeper of Lost Things
Could you imagine being able to open a book and your whole life being transported to a new time? Which you would you choose? Would you ever be satisfied with life?
The Midnight Library
I'm not even going to try to caption this.... just read it!
Verity
An unlikely pair - a teen boy and a old Holocaust survivor.
I'm a fan of a story that builds community. This story isn't tied up with a neat bow but you definitely connect to the characters.
Have You Seen Luis Velez?
Talk about a creative way to navigate the times when the environment isn't built for your success. It's not what you think!
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
I had so many emotions when reading this. This book made me angry.
I personally didn't love it but it sparked a good discussion - great for a book club.
