Book Clubs Guide Current Choices

 February has been a productive reading month...thinking this may be the grand total:

  1. Where Shadows Meet/Anathema by Colleen Coble (Lifeverse)
  2. A Barefoot Tide by Grace Greene
  3. Hidden Pictures by Jason Rekula
  4. The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune
  5. The Proposal by Lori Wick
  6. The Banned Bookshop of Maggie Banks by Shauna Robinson
  7. The Matchmaker's Gift by Lydia Cohen Loigman
  8. Fresh Water for Flowers by Valerie Perrin
The last two were my favorites...with Fresh Water for Flowers receiving top honors.  My only regret with that one?  I read it too fast; I wish I had slowed down!  Plot twists caught me off-guard, and I would just keep reading to see what happened next....until 12:30 AM arrived and I had finished the entire book!  I am still pondering the meaning of that title, a question I will ask my book club buddies this week when we meet to discuss this one.

Can one belong to or sign up for too many book clubs?  Maybe?  But.  These lists do motiviate me to read more...as in , see the above list!  In addition, I check out more books via the Libby app, and I just cannot stand the thought of having to return a book unread; thus, I read...more!  (Five of the above were read via Kindle; two checked out from the local library; only one I own.)

One of my current books I am reading...and one for February...is Joanna Gaines' The Stories We Tell.  This book was a gift; therefore, I can let this deadline slide just a bit as I can keep the book!  Mine!  I know...I heard the hoarder of books come out there just a bit.  I do love books...they look good anywhere:  on book cases, stacked on side tables, as decorative additions.  They are my silent friends, waiting patiently, looking comfortable, snugged up together in their Tammy-selected space!  :)

What have you read good lately?
