Nina’s Book Club: February Selections

I’m going to be reading Almost Moon by Alice Sebold and I’d love it if you guys would join me. I figure announcing it now will give people time to obtain it and since I’m moving at the end of February, I won’t be writing about it till March 1st.
Also, Kali and I have decided on The Name of This Is Secret by Pseudonymous Bosch. You guys are welcome to read/discuss along with us.
Also, while I’m at it, I’ll go ahead and announce the books for March and April.
March - Holler at the Moon by Tinesha Davis
April – Hold Love Strong by Matthew Aaron Goodman
Tinesha is a friend of a friend, well, a friend really, who wrote an amazing book about three sisters who turns out very differently after their mother is murdered.
And my mother-in-law gave me a signed copy of Hold Love Strong for Christmas. The author is the son of one of her clients. I started reading it and had to stop because I knew most of you would dig it and I thought it would be more fun to read it together.
Now that you know in advance and you can plan on when to get the books and read at your leisure. I’m not gonna read them until the start of each month assigned so that the content is fresh. If you’re gonna participate, as you read, think of questions to submit for discussion.
Thanks and happy reading!!

LikeThe Name of This Book is Secret is a great read for Kali! I read this to my fourth graders last year and they loved it. There are 2 more books following it, and they are great too. Very mysterious. I love the way the author "talks" to the reader all the way through the books. Hope y'all enjoy!
