HI! I was able to pick up my book club book at the library yesterday. I am very excited to get started reading it. I am bummed that I will be out of the loop on the book club meeting and thread this for May. (I leave for Mexico on the 20th.)
If I have some thoughts on the book though when I finish, I may PM you and maybe you can introduce my thoughts/questions in the book discussion.
Re: ***lesalyric***
I'm butting in but I got the notice from my library that I can pick it up today!
Can I butt in, too, with a question? Sara - did you say that I should read Half Broke Horses before I read The Glass Castle?
I've given up on The Girl with a Dragon Tattoo - for now.
Sorry, I just now saw this post. Yes, go GC first!
I can't wait to hear what you think.
Sara - sounds good, definitely send your thoughts over, bummed that you won't be here...but woo hoo Mexico!
I finished the Glass Castle last night, so good but also a little too close to home in parts. Moving on to Half Broke Horses today. I have a book to read for class this weekend but then I will start Henrietta. I didn't want to start it too soon and have to wait three weeks to talk about it!
Jaymi and Lacey - Yay! Glad you guys have your books! Excited to talk about it!
Although it didn't feel too close to home for my own childhood, it did for my dad. His upbringing was very "gypsy" like as well. I think the book really helped him work through some things.
The book really allowed me some peace with my feelings/thoughts towards my husbands loyalty to his crap parents. It helped me see that no matter how crappy they are...they are still parents.
My DH and I are the opposite of you two. I am the one loyal to crap parents and he doesn't understand. He is going to read it after he finishes the book he is on -hopefully it will help him in the same way.
That is awesome. I am not sure I will ever understand why he doesn't tell them to go fly a kite, but it did make me understand that I just need to support him in that relationship...even though I don't always agree.
