Book Blogger Hop

Happy Friday!  The 2012 Euro Cup is heating up and it is all about Football in our household!  Well, football and reading.  There's always reading :)

The Book Blogger Hop is a weekly meme hosted by Jennifer at Crazy For Books.  Each week book bloggers get together to visit and get to know each other.  It's a great way to find fantastic blogs.

This weeks question is:  Do you belong to a book club, either online or in real life?


Currently I don't.  I've never really participated in a a full-fledged book club.  I joined one in school, read the book, but then I couldn't make it to the meeting.  And the club didn't continue after that because things at school got too busy!

Last year Joy at Edgy Inspirational Romance ran an online Christian Fiction Book Club and I participated in a couple of the books, the ones I could manage to get my hands on.

But I've never been a part of a book club that meets regularly and that I've been able to read all the books. Maybe I should start one....

Do you belong to a book club?

    Thanks for stopping by my blog. I never have tried an online book club, but I think I have my hands full and shouldn't do it anyway. :)

    Stopping by from the blog hop.

    OLD FOLLOWER.

    Face to face book clubs are so hard to work into people's schedules. Online ones are the way to go! :)

    Thanks for visiting! I've never been in one, unless you wanted to count Shelfari groups. But those aren't exactly book clubs.

    Hello, I am new to this blog hop. I do not belong to an organized book readers club either. I own and run an online book tour company so I guess you could say several of us read the same book at the same time but we each choose which of the books on tour we want to read and then write reviews on them. Stop on by at TBR http://tbr-io.blogspot.com/ and http://iobooktours.blogspot.com/ my two blogs and say hello.

    I haven't ever been a member of a regular book club either online or off. I hopscotch around my library too much to ever be disciplined enough to join one.

    You know when Oprah launched her bookclub again, I have an urge to start the Christian Fiction Book Club 2.0, but so far haven't acted on it. I'm not sure if I'm ready to get back into blogging full time yet.

"The Guestbook" by Holly Martin

Welcome to Willow Cottage - throw open the shutters, let in the sea breeze and make yourself completely at home.  Oh, and please do leave a comment in the Guestbook! Annie Butterworth is the landlady of Willow Cottage, a beautiful cottage in the English countryside with a colourful array of guests.  Every guest is encouraged to write their thoughts in the guestbook and do they ever!  Love, loss, happiness, sadness, guilt, affairs, births, and surprises, it’s all in there.  Even Annie’s life gets caught up in the book. As a young widow, Annie herself is going through some changes.  And the appearance of her brother-in-law, celebrity crime writer Oliver Black isn’t helping.  As the guests of Willow Cottage go about their seaside vacations, Annie and Oliver must figure out how to move on in their lives, and most importantly, if they will do so together. The Guestbook by Holly Martin is a lovely, sweet, and unique book.  Written in the form...

"Dreaming of Elsewhere: Observations on Home" by Esi Edugyan

Image
“But where are you from, really?” This is a question that Canadians of all walks of life are often asked.  Part of our identity as Canadians is that we all come from somewhere else, and no matter how long ago, it is a defining part of who we are.   But for many people, this question is about more than where their family came to Canada from.  For many, it brings about a question of home and belonging.  These are the ideas that Esi Edugyan explored in her 2013 Henry Kreisel Memorial Lecture, Dreaming of Elsewhere: Observations on Home .  Born in Canada to parents from Ghana, Esi Edugyan has travelled to and lived in various countries, all the while searching for her identity and coming to understand the meaning of home. As an author, Edugyan also reflects on Canadian literature and the notion of the “Canadian story.”  Her wildly successful novel, Half-Blood Blues , was set outside of Canada, and something she often heard was that it was not a t...
