I know, it is still September and not October yet. I have received a request from someone stating that they participate in a variety of book clubs and need to get a head start. So, I will give you all a head start. The BOM (for quilters that is Block of the Month but for us it is Book of the Month) is:
WINTER GARDEN BY KRISTIN HANNAH
It is available on Amazon for around $10, and at your library. There is another book titled the same so make sure you get the one by Kristin Hannah.
Other books of hers that I have read are: Night Road and Firefly Lane. Both of them I couldn't put down and I was told that is one is the same. Please check into the blog and become a follower (I think you do that by inserting your email address into the top bar), read, follow along, help to create some conversation by commenting, post the other books you are reading, suggest books for 'down the road', etc.
Please pass the blog site around so we can get more followers and comments.
In additional to Winter Garden I am reading the classic The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett- an old classic that I never read before. It is a wonderful story about orphaned children in the moors who are overcoming adversities. That is on my Ipad as a free e-book. I assume you all know that you can download lots of classic old literature for FREE!

Oh, and by the way .......
When you join the blog, please write something like who you are and what you are reading now!
It's only the beginning...... a great Chicago song!
OK, here I am with the blog so many of you thought I should do. There are many ideas splashing around in my head for what this blog should be but as yet the usage of blogspot is the current focus.
This is what I did today: Went to the library and it was closed until noon. Went back to the library and they didn't have the book I wanted (the 5th book in the Frankenstein series by Dean Koontz) so the nice librarian offered to get if from another library but she would call -- so far, no call. So, having a pile of books on my nightstand I decided to borrow something from the library that was suggested by a friend in Yardley. Well, I decided to borrow it after applying for another library card since I couldn't find my other once since it was on my key ring and I can't find my key ring --- it's been months so I doubt they will show up. If anyone sees an Acura key with a Stowe Library card on it - it mine!
Anyway, back to this blog.
First rule of order: There will be a Book of the Month. The book for October is ...........
It is not October yet you impatient people. It is the book I checked out of the library so if you can hack into the Stowe Library you will know before anyone else. Or you can figure out which friend in Yardley suggested which book!
Second Rule of Order: We need some people to participate in this blog and the book discussion at the end of the month(s) so when you receive this blog pass it around to your friends and have them check into the blog.
Third Rule of Order: We will all expect comments about the current books you are reading and as I become more familiar with commandeering this blog I will include extras like polls, suggestions, and ratings of books.
