Last year I had 10 books on my booklist and that was difficult to complete with all the other things I had going on. This year I still wanted to make sure I kept reading, but I decided to reduce the number of books to read by half. So I picked 5 books, and 4 of them I chose from the ward book club list. The book club books even worked with some of the prompts I found online. (The prompts help me to have more variety in what I read).
I'll probably end up reading another book or two by the end of the year...but here's the 5 books I've read so far.
1. A book written by someone under 30...More Than the Tattoed Mormon: Al Carraway by Al Carraway
2. A book published within the last year...Water From My Heart by Charles Martin
3. A mystery or thriller...The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley
4. A memoir...Call the Midwife by Jennifer Worth
5. A book with magic...Harry Potter and the Cursed Child by J K Rowling, John Tiffany, and Jack Throne
All, except #5, are books I never would have even considered reading if it hadn't been for book club, and I happened to enjoy those ones more than I did the Harry Potter book. Ha! So I'm thankful for book club (even if I don't make it every month).
