August Book

I finished Castaway Kid and well before the end of the month actually. I passed it off to my sister and she finished it in 2 days. That just shows how good it is that I don't currently have any Gilmore Girl seasons to watch.

The book for next month is...

1. ...a very easy read if it's like any of the author's other books.
2. ...written by our parent's cousin, Mary Connealy
3. ...entertaining, enjoyable and might even make us laugh out loud
4. ...a mystery
5. ...actually not checked out at libraries around my town. Her latest book is all checked out so I though this option would better suit those strapped for cash. If you don't live in Nebraska, I don't know about your libraries. I hope they have it for you!
6. ...3 books in 1.

Ready for the title?

Get ready to read!

As far as us always posting on Tuesdays.....ummm...clearly we're not keeping our end on that plan. We hope you read along and check back anyway!

Confessions of a Book Clubber

I agree with Ann. You should read this month's book. She read it in a few days. I, on the other hand, have only read a few chapters. 

The problem is I ordered the book online and was waiting for it to come. I wanted to read something while I was waiting since I was on a reading kick, so I started reading Black Hills Blessing (Romancing America) by Mary Conneally. (The author is Ann and I's parents' cousin FYI.) All the books I've read of hers are easy, enjoyable reads, but reading this one delayed me starting our book this month. 

I put finishing that book on hold and started Castaway Kid. The first chapter made me so sad. I sort of put my kids in his place and my heart just breaks. Then my mind starts to go down a morbid road. It didn't make me want to continue.

Then I should've had more time to read since my husband's been gone for a few days, but instead of being a productive citizen and educating myself through reading, I've been a slave to watching the Gilmore Girls. I'm completely addicted. Instead of going to bed a little early, so I can read a little before falling asleep. I just watch one more epidose. They really ought to put that series in a book. I'd read it.

I really have apprecieated the few chapters I have read, and I will finish Castaway Kid by the end of the month! That's is why we have a book club, so that I read and finish books! I'll probably be praying for the little guy in the book once I read a few more chapters because that's how involved I get in the books (and TV series) I really like. Sort of pathetic and strange, isn't it?    

Castaway Kid by r.b. Mitchell

Have you started reading this book yet?  If you are not sure you have time -- I would encourage you to try.  I found it to be a quick, very engaging book.  Although the topic is rather grim, abandonment and orphans, the book itself is uplifting and hopeful.

I have been thinking about two main things after reading the book....

1-Forgiveness and freeing it can be

2- What can we do/should we be doing for people in less-fortunate situations?

I hope you will decide to read it!
