Fabulous Book Club Night

My book club met again tonight, and it was FABULOUS as usual. We discussed the book "Seven Days to the Sea." We all agreed it was a good book. It was the third Biblical Fiction book that we've read ("The Red Tent" and "The Gilded Chamber") but paled in comparison to the others, in my opinion. I just got frustrated with the main charcters on so many levels. It was interesting to read about Moses and the Exodous, but I think I need a break from this type of book for awhile.

So Michelle has the next pick, and she selected "The Friday Night Knitting Club."

As faithful blog-readers will recall, I read this book not all that long ago, and it inspired me to dust off my knitting needles... or, more accurately, go buy a pair and try again. Haven't started the scarf yet. It's on my to do list (which is about as long as my "to read" list... goodreads.com fanatics, you know what I'm talking about!!!) maybe this weekend I'll start. I can't wait to discuss it with the gals in my club. It's not a light book, but it's filled with diverse and complex characters. Definitely a change of pace from the heavy stuff we've been reading lately. Hopefully we'll be able to set a date for our next meeting soon!

On a side note, a big shout-out to my friend Michelle, who doesn't read the blog, but that's okay. She offered to have me drop Alex off at her house, so I could enjoy the book club without a two-year-old date. Aimee and Kierra babysit for Alex on occassion. I think Alex was a little freaked to be in a strange house, even though he was with familiar faces. He went to be very late, but seemed to have had a good time. So thanks to Michelle and her girls for helping out.
