I am Janet and I would love to be a participant in a book club, but Saturdays are almost always out for me. :-( But I can participate on the blog. I have some favorite books! Some of the recent ones that I loved have been Alexander McCall's #1 Ladies Detective Agency - all ten I think there were. Those were a lot of fun! Beverly Lewis has some light reads about life among the Amish and of course Lauraine Snelling has her Red River of the North Series - that everyone who lives up here should read. Along with that, Laura Ingalls books are a good very easy read you can share with your children about pioneer life in the northern prairie, especially The Long Winter LOL. Pepin WI, Walnut Grove MN, and Desmet SD are all within a days drive from here and are fun places to visit. I have also recently read Three Cups of Tea, The Glass Castle: A Memoir, The Secret Life of Bees,
Three Weeks With my Brother, The Soft Spoken parent and What's a Parent to Do? (The last two are church books, which I reread periodically!) Another one that I recently read is
which is about a young mom (which I am not) caring for her young children at the same time her mom is diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease and how she manages to deal with being "in the middle." My mom does have Alzheimer's and I do still have kids at home, so I am in the middle on this one, and it's a very good book for a very hard situation. (Note: Some language in the book.)
