Secrets of Eden

Chris Bohjalian

This was my other "on the fly" book club selection. I picked this book because I loved Midwives, and The Double Bind. I was not disappointed in this book, either. We haven't discussed it yet so I can't say much. But, if you like Jodi P. books or the two I just mentioned I think you will enjoy this one, too. And for the record, I totally figured it out....but everyone else probably did, too.

Snow Flower and the Secret Fan

Lisa See

I picked this book for book club, but I was very sad with Hank I totally missed that it was my turn to pick and had to do it on the fly. So, I thought this would at least provide a fun theme and was listed as a book I would like based on others I have read. I was pleasantly surprised it actually provided some really great discussion. I am always amazed at cultures so different from my own and the role women have in varying cultures. I think it would be a good book for a book club because it provided a lot to talk about, even though I thought it was a little slow in places. Overall I thought the book was a good read!

Twenties Girl: A Novel

Sophie Kinsella

I will always love Sophie Kinsella. The Shopaholic series was just the break I needed from real life in college, and were quick enough I could sneak them in here and there. This was just a great, fun chick flick book. Perfect for the late night feedings. By the way, you need an e-reader for these feeds it is so much easier to read while feeding Hank with my kindle than it was with Avery and real books. I do need a better book light though...
