  11. I wish there were more boys in book clubs and more boy book selections. I wonder why that is so difficult.

    That said, I'd love to have my book group read Room. Powerful.

    Here is my Top Ten Books I Think Would Make Great Book Club Picks. I hope you will stop by!

  12. The Book Thief! YES! I mean, the narrator is death fro crying out loud! This is such a fantastic book to discuss. Let alone the time period.

    I love Eat, Pray, Love. How could you not?! It is such a good book. Each time I read it, it makes me want to take the bull by the balls and do something new with my life.

    1. What makes Eat Pray Love even better is it is based on the authors life!!!
