Welcome!

Every spring at the end of the school year I think, “I should have a book club this summer.” Guess what. It never happens. That’s all going to change this year! My cousin, Ann, asked me about reading the Beth Moore book So Long, Insecurity together. We both want to better ourselves, think about something other than caring for children, and we like to read! (I also sometimes need a little motivation to help me finish a non fiction book as long as this one.) Ann and I both like to entertain ourselves by blogging, which lead us to creating this blog.

We figured if we’re reading a book we should see who else wants to read it. Instead of having each of our blogs (As Time Goes By and Lighten Up Your Life) hoping to have people share their thoughts on what they’re reading, we joined forces so we only have one site hoping for comments and one place for all readers or observers to view what people are gleaning from their reading. Don't think of it as another blog to follow. Think of it as a book club to join or observe. 

Our plan is to have posts each Tuesday from a 'book clubber'. (If you’re interested let us know. Otherwise we have a few of you we plan to recruit.) If you’re reading along we hope you will also comment on the weekly post to share your thoughts on what you’re reading. It’s a virtual book club with readers from at least four different states that I know of!

In the meantime have fun reading, let us know if you have ideas for a book for July or August and if you have other ideas for the blog! Thanks for joining! Let the reading begin...
