Membership benefits...

Besides a reason to get together once a month with fabulous gals and chat about books, documentaries...okay and the occasional moments of US Weekly gossip, I think we are all finding that a great benefit of Book Club is new discoveries in books we perhaps wouldn't have chosen off the racks ourselves.

I am about 3/4 way through Peony in Love, after 6 days! I bring it to work to read at lunch and I find myself wanting to pick it up all day long if I could only find a way to not get busted for reading at work. Candice you are totally right it is a page turner love story that may be only the third book in my history to make me cry. For interest sake the other two were Time Travellers Wife and Ya Ya Sisterhood. On the Book Reporter website for Peony in Love it was such an interesting coincidence that the writer says that Peony in Love "evokes The 5 People You Meet in Heaven" ~ which Candice is reading. Also, the writer claims that Peony in Love takes over the top spot of the most beautiful love story they had read in 20 years, bumping my other fave "The Time Travellers Wife". This book is so good and beautifully written I am going to read it a second time immediately to capture any wonderful details I may have missed due to reading too fast in an attempt to find out what happens even sooner. WARNING ~ if you read the link to Peony in Love on the sidebar it may spoil an early twist in the book, but would definitely not spoil the story.

So two thumbs way up for Peony In Love...hope you all are enjoying your books as much as I am!
