Tallgrass

Seeing the pictures that were taken at the actual camp that Tallgrass was based on added to the wonderful discussion of the book and about the things that happened during WWII. Sometimes it seems that we do not learn from history and are doomed to continue to make many of the same mistakes. This book had it all...a coming of age story, some history and some suspense. The characters were very well developed and Rennie Stroud shines!

Our next book "If You Could See Me Now" by Cecilia Ahern is getting rave reviews by advanced readers! The reviews also came with the warning that if you decide to listen to the audio you might need to develop an ear for the Irish!

"The Blood of Flowers" is getting rave reviews from me! This novel by Iranian born Anita Amirrezvani is set in 17th century Persia and is a fasinating story that is being compared to former book club selection "The Kite Runner" although it seems more similiar to "A Thousand Spendid Suns" since the woman are the focus of the story. If you get finished with this month's book club selection early you might want to give this novel a try!
