Book Club Reminder and Suggestions for Next Month
First, a reminder that April's book is Pillars of the Earth, and we will be discussing it on April 30th via a post. Everyone is welcome to join!
Second, I would like to take suggestions for next month's book. Please include the title, author, and a description of the book. I'll take all the suggestions and make another post with them so that we can vote on which one we want to read next.
And....go!
Re: Book Club Reminder and Suggestions for Next Month
I may or may not participate (never done a book club) but can I make a suggestion?
Two Kisses For Maddy
Matt has connections here in Minnesota, but lives in LA. This is a C&P from the website linked above:
Matt and Liz Logelin were high school sweethearts. After years of long-distance dating, the pair finally settled together in Los Angeles, and they had it all: a perfect marriage, a gorgeous new home, and a baby girl on the way. Liz?s pregnancy was rocky, but they welcomed Madeline, beautiful and healthy, into the world on March 24, 2008.
Just twenty-seven hours later, Liz suffered a pulmonary embolism and died instantly, without ever holding the daughter whose arrival she had so eagerly awaited. Though confronted with devastating grief and the responsibilities of a new and single father, Matt did not surrender to devastation; he chose to keep moving forward? to make a life for Maddy.
In this memoir, Matt shares bittersweet and often humorous anecdotes of his courtship and marriage to Liz; of relying on his newborn daughter for the support that she unknowingly provided; and of the extraordinary online community of strangers who have become his friends. In honoring Liz?s legacy, heartache has become solace.
I've already read it, so I don't know if that disqualifies me from Book Club but... just thought I'd put my two cents in! :-)
I was going to suggest this too!

Two Kisses for Maddy is a great idea!
I just picked up this month's book last night and did not realize how huge it was!! Don't think I'll have it read in time for this Saturday, but I'm going to try...
It is long, I'm trying very hard to finish it in time! I usually don't come on here on the weekends, so I probably won't be able to join the discussion until Monday....

I didn't realize it was a biggun' either when I suggested it. DH had raved about so I went off of that. <smiles sheepishly> I have about 100 pages to go myself, but I think it's really worth it. I'm sure the discussion will still be going on Monday. Feel free to chime in late (plus, that gives you two extra days for reading!).
