Re: BOOK CLUB - Book #2 Choices-
I'd read anything except the Sophie Kinsella book. Its more intellectually stimulating to just stare at blank paper than to read one of her novels.

I've read Running with Scissors, but I also re-read A Tree Grows in Brooklyn so it doesn't matter much to me!

Re: BOOK CLUB - Book #2 Choices-
Not on the list but want to join I can't make the first group because that is the Childless Families meet up, but Jube ahouls work.
Here's my list:
Have Read:
How to be Lost - Amanda Ward
The Time Travelers Wife- Audrey Niffenegger
The rest I haven't, not that I can remember.
Also, My Sister's Keeper is coming out soon as a movie, maybe we could tie that into the book club? IDK when it opens though.

Re: BOOK CLUB - Book #2 Choices-
I have already read "The Guardian" by Nicholas Sparks but I'd read it again in a heartbeat! It is a MAJOR tear jerker!
I'd also like to suggest an amazing book called "Kindred" by Octavia Butler. I read it in college and absolutely loved it so I kept it. I can give you all a brief of it, if you'd like
