Summer Book Club

OK gals. Everyone likes to find out fun, great, new books to read, right? Well, as the summer progresses I thought it would be fun to start a "book club." I will keep everyone updated on what I am reading and if you'd like to "join" in with me, yay! let me know how it's going, or if you see something that I have read that intrigues you and you'd like to borrow it, let me know too. I love to share.

I am starting with one of my favorite, favorite books, North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell. No, it's not the Civil War books and the movie with Patrick Swayze....yucky. It's all about Victorian England and deals with class conflicts and the Industrial Revolution and of course, there's a good, old-fashioned love story too. (Also, a really, really good movie...one definitely worth checking out and one I also happen to have as well.)




Anyway, happy reading!

Hey! We get home on Tuesday, and after things settle down a little bit, I'm in too! (Although I just started Twilight, so I'll have to wait until I'm done with that!)
Love ya!

Apparantly I was signed in as Chad's mom when I made my last comment. Just in case you were wondering who "tina" was. Although I'm pretty sure you figured that out already! :)

Okay I am done! Loved it, is this a series? It had a very Pride and Prejudice feel to it. I do think that the ending left me wanting more. Like I want to know what happens to him and the business and ... well I probably shouldn't say in case someone hasn't finished it yet, but man, we need to talk! Good call, I really liked it!
