Summer Reading

Our new book pick is What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty
I am looking forward to reading this since it was already in my summer reading stack. 

Here is a book blurb from Amazon.com:

Alice Love is twenty-nine, crazy about her husband, and pregnant with her first child. So imagine Alice’s surprise when she comes to on the floor of a gym (a gym! She HATES the gym) and is whisked off to the hospital where she discovers the honeymoon is truly over—she’s getting divorced, she has three kids, and she’s actually 39 years old. Alice must reconstruct the events of a lost decade, and find out whether it’s possible to reconstruct her life at the same time. She has to figure out why her sister hardly talks to her, and how is it that she’s become one of those super skinny moms with really expensive clothes. Ultimately, Alice must discover whether forgetting is a blessing or a curse, and whether it’s possible to start over…

Because it is summer and vacation time is here, we are going to have our next book club meeting on Tuesday August 9, at 7:00 pm at Debby's house.  This will give us time to read the book.  Alecia has read it and said she read it in three days.  So go to the library or pick up a copy of the book.  

If you are looking for some more summer reading check out another book club blog from another ward in our stake: Bound By Books Cecilia's daughter Tina is a member of this book club. 
Goodreads is another place to get ideas for reading.  You can see what your friends are reading and read and write reviews of books. 
Some of my teacher friends and I have shared pictures of our summer reading stacks.
