I had a satisfying month of reading groups in April. Tina's Group had a mostly favorable opinion of As I Lay Dying with only one dissenter. At One Book At A Time everyone became a fan of Toni Morrison after reading and discussing The Bluest Eye. I missed the discussion at Carol's Group of Once Upon A River but the other two members were enchanted by the novel. The Bookie Babes mostly liked Nineteen Minutes but I had to behave myself because I really did not. You will be seeing my review in a day or so.
This month is full with 5 of my 6 groups meeting. But I have already read three of the books so I am in good shape: The Weight of Ink, Washington Black and Killers of the Flower Moon. They are all good books for discussion.

What are your groups discussing this month? Have you had a particularly great discussion recently?
Normally I don't have any copies of your book choices - but this time I do! I have a copy of 'Killers of the Flower Moon' in one of my TBR piles. I'll look forward to your review...
ReplyDeleteYou can see my review right now because I have already read it. Just click on the link in the second paragraph. I liked it!
DeleteMay looks to be a busy month for you with some great books to read and discuss.
ReplyDeleteYes, a lot of meetings. Glad to see you back in the swing yourself!
DeleteI'm about to start Where the Crawdads Sing for our next book club meeting. All they hype has me a little worried though...
ReplyDeleteThanks for reporting in JoAnn. I know what you mean about hype but two of my trusted reading friends have liked it and one of them just lent me her copy. Perhaps our reviews will cross.
DeleteLooks like some great reads!!
ReplyDeleteInteresting side note, but I was just at the Bay Area Book Festival in Berkeley, California this past weekend (May 4th and May 5th). Yesterday, I heard both Tayari Jones and Esi Edugyan speak together at the Bay Area Book Festival and came away with signed books by both women (including Washington BlacK).
I am pooped out from a fun filled weekend @ the Bay Area Book Festival. But I will be posting about my adventures in a few days.
I was wondering if you went to that festival. I am happy for you. I'll bet that was a good discussion with those two authors. I liked both of their books so much. I look forward to your posts.
DeleteLooks like some great reads for this month!
ReplyDeleteI am eagerly looking forward to the discussions!
DeleteThese books look so interesting. I have been thinking of reading Killers of the Flower Moon myself. I am also jealous of the number of books that you you are reading:)
ReplyDeleteKillers of the Flower Moon is quite a book. I think you would like it.
DeleteThis month, my church's book club are meeting to discuss Love Wins by Rob Bell. I have already finished it :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Jessica. Yay!
DeleteIt's a good thing that you have already read some of them. I'll be reading Washington Black in the next two or three months. Right now I'm reading Warlight and enjoying it thus far.
ReplyDeleteI am glad to know about your reading!
DeleteSisters in Law looks good. I'd be interested to know about that one. Thumbs up on Washington Black.
ReplyDeleteI just saw On the Basis of Sex last night. Sisters in Law should fit right in. Washington Black was so good. I wonder what the group will think.
