April Showers bring...........

Hello all!
Unfortunately this is turning into a monthly blog rather than a weekly one but my life has been kind of crazy lately so I just need to give myself a break. I haven't stopped reading and have a few titles to add to my list:

Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger which was the book club pick for April. We had a great discussion about this book and not everyone appreciated it but we agreed that the main character Holden was a handful and would be a tough kid to parent!

Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford. This one is a really sweet story that takes place in Seattle during WWII and is about the Japanese population there that is taken to internement camps after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. It tells a story about an unlikely relationship between two classmates and the bonds they form. I'm going to Seattle on a trip this summer and plan on checking out some of the spots they talk about in the book.
Death in a Prairie House was a nonfiction book I got from Deb after we read the March book, Loving Frank. It tells the story about the murders that took place at Taliesen in Spring Green. A bit more graphic than Loving Frank but a very interesting book.
Girls Night In is a collection of short stories from a bunch of authors I read already, including Jennifer Weiner, Sophie Kinsella and Meg Cabot. Short stories are great to read once in a while when you don't have the time to get into a whole book but you want to finish a story so check this one out! I have liked pretty much everything that I've read this past month and right now I am working out the book group pick for May which is called To Become a Priest- A Love Story by Den Adler. I'm only about 60 pages in so will talk about this one the next time I blog...which hopefully won't be another month!
