It is sitting on Elliana's bookshelf.<br /><br />The Actor and the Housewife because you need to read at least one local author and Hale is a great writer.<br /><br />The Forgotten Garden sounds good and I hear all sorts of great things about Morton's writing.<br /><br />Brave New World - you need one classic book, I think, and this one sounds the most intriguing.<br /><br />Edenbrooke --- just read the description and oooo....that is so one that appeals to me right now.<br /><br />Can I join your book club? Ha. Seriously though, if I lived close I would want to join. Your bookclub always sounds sound fabulous.<br /><br />ibeeeghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10222760102843468991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-4337459949394919502013-02-28T08:35:59.049-07:002013-02-28T08:35:59.049-07:00I haven't read most of those!
