You'll love this one...!! A book club & more discussion

Hi All, new to this group and challenge, I am Helen #2's daughter, she drug me in here! LOL! I am doing the alphabet by title.

Here is my book list:

The Art of Racing in the Rain
Brain Rules: 12 Principles for Surviving and Thriving at Work, Home, and School

Yay Kristin! Welcome. It;s always nice to have more groups of people who know each other. There are a few mum/daughter combos in here too.

Look forward to seeing your list.

Welcome Kristin! I'm glad that you are going to join us for the challenge. Could you link your books. I always groan when someone has a full list up and I ask that... but you just have two up, so it won't be a huge headache to edit your message. To link, click on the "add book/author" link above the comment box.

Kristin, I read The Art of Racing in the Rain last year. I treasured every word! Two years ago, we had a yellow lab, Sammy, whom we had to put down due to old age and illness. This book reminded me so much our beloved Sammy! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

I have a three year old laboradoodle, he's my buddy, third child! He is a trained therapy dog and works with me, I know often wonder what he is thinking!

(From Helen #2). Yeah darling daughter - you got here. Welcome aboard. You will really enjoy this challenge and all the lovely folks who share the reading experiences with us.

The Art of Racing in the Rain is a great book. Keep some tissues handy.

Finally finished Brain Rules, ready to chug on!!!

Cannery Row now done.... On to the next one!

What did you think of Cannery Row. When I moved, I discovered I had the book hidden away. I should read it before I forget I have it again.

It was good, nice character study. I had been to Monterey about a year ago, so had to read it! Not as much of a quick read as I had thought.

Just finished On to find E.

E is done, taking a break on vacation, if an F pops up will read!

F is done, such a good read!!!

Way to go Kris. What is G to be?

And G was The Glass Castle! On to The House at Riverton!

I have The House At Riverton waiting patiently to be read. I'm looking forward to what you think of it.

I'm glad you liked The Glass Castle - very interesting book - pretty amazing how people can survive and thrive in such highly unconventional childhoods.

You will like The House at Riverton. Excellent 90 year span of historical fiction. Well written and interesting characters.

H is done, on to I!

Finished I, J and K. I am cooking along.

L and M now done!

Wow you're doing really well Kristin!

Thanks Sarah, was on vacation so had a good run this week!

N is finished, on to summer camp then back at it!

O, P, Q and R were done, some good ones some real dogs!

You're really moving along Kristin. That's so great!

S and T done, U and V under way!

Way to go daughter of mine!!

Oh wow! You're definitely showing the alphabet who's boss!

U and V done, Undertow was a bummer, VJ book was great! If you grew up in the 80's read it!

Wow, you are really moving right along.

I think I might change my "V" book. Thank you!

Good job Kris.
