Anyone Read This One?

As I Have Loved You  by Kitty deRuyter -Bons Has anyone read this? (This may be the book Conna was referring to at our get together?) I'm wondering if we could read this along with our November pick, I Am Malala ? Or we can save it for later :) So many books, so little time!!

Fall Book Club Plans

Hi Everyone! Several us got together last night and talked about what we want to do going forward. We are planning to meet at my house in September to discuss "Girls on the Edge" and "Boys Adrift" (optional). In October we will meet at Michelle's house, November we will meet at Maria's house and discuss the book "I Am Malala" by Malala Yousafzai. I imagine we will choose to skip December and meet again at the beginning of January. I still want to try to include youth. What if we discuss the youth book every other month in addition to just getting together? I know a lot of the adults enjoy the youth books and it would be fun to have youth attend on those evenings if they would like to. I propose we discuss "Esperanza Rising" in October at Michelle's house. We didn't talk about this though, so a "yay", "nay" or different proposals are welcome! :)

EDIT - date change!! Book Club Get Together August 14th (not the 15th)

Hi Ladies! Let's meet and talk about what books we are reading and what we want to read this year on Tuesday, August 14th at 8pm at my house.  We will discuss Girls on the Edge in September. I think it will be Thursday, September 6th at 8pm, but we will have to see for sure as the time gets closer. For any youth that want to read something with us let's read "Esperanza Rising" by Pam Munoz Ryan. I just finished this one and it would be good probably for 9 and up? Maybe 8 and up even. I really liked it and am hoping to read it with my 9 year old.  Hoping to see some of you next week! For anyone that is following along with us but can't make the get togethers, just leave your comments about what you want to read on this post.
