Do you read for pleasure?

Can I just say how much I love my book club? First and foremost, the women are amazing. By amazing, I mean AMAZING! Second, I am exposed to books that I don't think I would typically pick up. So our group has been meeting for over two years. I have loved some of our books and just liked others and some, I just could not get through at all.

I have decided to post the new book each month. Not that you will all want to run out and grab the book I am reading, but sometimes, you may want a book and not know of one to get.

Here is what I am currently reading:


August: The Monster of Florence by: Douglas Preston and Mario Spezi.

A thriller writer and crime reporter try to unlock the secrets of decades-old real-life murders in MONSTER OF FLORENCE. Between 1974 and 1985, seven different couples were found slain in their cars just outside the city of Florence, Italy. When novelist Douglas Preston and reporter Mario Spezi decided to try to piece together what had really happened, they quickly found themselves in trouble, with Spezi landing himself in jail and Preston accused of obstructing justice. The book finally saw the light of day after Dateline NBC did a piece on the daring duo. Mystery buffs will likely find this true-crime tale a tantalizing, thoroughly engaging ride.


September: Breaking Dawn by: Stephenie Meyer.

The hotly anticipated fourth and final book in the bestselling teen vampire series Twilight promises to answer many burning questions, but not until August 2008. What will happen to Edgar and Bella? Will Bella get her wish and be turned into a vampire? Will their love survive? Will Jacob really stop pursuing Bella? The list could go on and on, but BREAKING DAWN promises to be a page-turner no matter what happens.
If you are wanting just one to pick up, I would suggest Breaking Dawn (assuming of course you have read Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse). I am loving it!!!
