[gilmorefanalways]

yay so its finally here!!! we all wanted this book club so im just curious who will be interested in reading a book together and what book!

suggestions and participating individuals here please!

[Watchtower]

I suggest Gone to Green by Judy Christie... I only read the first chapter, but it's the first book in a series and the book is fantastic so far. I'm willing to wait to read the rest until the rest of you guys catch up.

I would recommend this series to anyone... ;D

[gilmorefanalways]

thanks watchtower i will def look it up and see what its about! and get back here to let u know my opinion

[Watchtower]

Okay, that sounds great! ;D

[gilmorefanalways]

it sounds interesting and not like the average book that you find nowadays and its def a plus that its part of a series! it is going to be a contender even now after reading just the summary im wondering whats going to happen so def on the list thanx

[HarleyQuinn]

My vote is still for On A Pale Horse and the rest of that series. Even though I've read them all I'd love to read them again with anyone who wants to.

Btw I am a VERY fast reader. Not bragging just stating a fact about me. I hope it won't be a problem

[avp60685]

The Help is a good book as is the Great Gatsby

[Watchtower]

Whatever book we decide on, you're gonna have to give me time to find it, even if I have to go to the library... just to let you know for future reference, okay?

[avp60685]

same here, i have the books the Help and the Great Gatsby already though and have read them but I want to reread them again

[gilmorefanalways]

srry i havent been on for a while so far out books to choose from are

gone to green

on a pale horse

the help

and the great gatsby

id like to know votes for each so i will figure out these darn poll things and then we can decide that way we will have voting for two weeks to ensure everyone a chance to see the poll and get an accurate count of votes for each book then whichever book wins we can read that first

[gilmorefanalways]

ok i added my own suggestion in there as well thats what the last option switched is

[gilmorefanalways]

once we decide which book to read then we will assign so many chapters for a week so whatever paced reader you are we will all be in about the same area and each friday and saturday will be our discussion days

[Watchtower]

Just submitted my vote, whatever the choice ends up being as our first book (and we can always get to the others at a future date) give me time to get the book if I don't already have it. Just letting you know.

[gilmorefanalways]

yes def will as i will need time too lol

[avp60685]

[gilmorefanalways]

ok so here are summaries for each just to make the voting a little easier

GONE TO GREEN

In Gone to Green, Lois goes from being a corporate journalist at a large paper in the Midwest to the owner of The Green News-Item, a small twice-weekly newspaper in rural North Louisiana. The paper was an unexpected inheritance from a close colleague, and Lois must keep it for at least a year, bringing a host of challenges, lessons, and blessings into her life.

When Lois pulls into Green on New Year’s Day, she expects a charming little town full of smiling people. She quickly realizes her mistake. After settling into a loaned house out on Route 2, she finds herself battling town prejudices and inner doubts and making friends with the most surprising people: troubled teenager Katy, good-looking catfish farmer Chris, wise and feisty Aunt Helen, and a female African-American physician named Kevin.

Whether fighting a greedy, deceitful politician or rescuing a dog she fears, Lois notices the headlines in her life have definitely improved. She learns how to provide small-town news in a big-hearted way and realizes that life is full of newsworthy moments. When she encounters racial prejudice and financial corruption, Lois also discovers more about the goodness of real people and the importance of being part of a community.

While secretly preparing the paper for a sale, Lois begins to realize that God might indeed have a plan for her life and that perhaps the allure of city life and career ambition are not what she wants after all.

ON A PALE HORSE

When Zane shot Death, he learned, too late, that he would have to assume his place, speeding over the world riding his pale horse, and ending the lives of others. Sooner than he would have thought possible, Zane found himself being drawn to Satan's plot. Already the Prince of Evil was forging a trap in which Zane must act to destroy Luna, the woman he loved...unless he could discover the only way out....


THE HELP

The Help is an inspirational, courageous and empowering story about very different, extraordinary women in the 1960s South who build an unlikely friendship around a secret writing project — one that breaks society’s rules and puts them all at risk. Filled with poignancy, humor and hope — and complete with compelling, never-before-seen bonus features — The Help is a timeless, universal and triumphant story about the ability to create change

THE GREAT GATSBY

The story of the fabulously wealthy Jay Gatsby and his love for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan, of lavish parties on Long Island at a time when The New York Times noted “gin was the national drink and sex the national obsession,” it is an exquisitely crafted tale of America in the 1920s.

SWITCHED

When Wendy Everly was six years old, her mother was convinced she was a monster and tried to kill her. Eleven years later, Wendy discovers her mother might have been right. She’s not the person she’s always believed herself to be, and her whole life begins to unravel—all because of Finn Holmes.

Finn is a mysterious guy who always seems to be watching her. Every encounter leaves her deeply shaken…though it has more to do with her fierce attraction to him than she’d ever admit. But it isn’t long before he reveals the truth: Wendy is a changeling who was switched at birth—and he’s come to take her home.

Now Wendy’s about to journey to a magical world she never knew existed, one that’s both beautiful and frightening. And where she must leave her old life behind to discover who she’s meant to become…

these are the summaries for each book as they are descibed on amazon.com
