Hey all,
I went for a cruise through Chapters at lunch today. I have to say, there is not a lot out there catching my eye these days! There has been a lack of book related discussion and suggestions in my life. I am really looking forward to another year of books to read because I just wouldn't know what to pick up and I don't want reading to fall off my hobby list in favour of watching LOST (so awesome) and cross-stitching (got addicted after doing my neices).
Once I finish Middlesex (so good) I will be without a "next book" for the first time in a looong time! So here is my list of oldies I plan to turn to, and new ones that I might suggest for Book Club this year.
Oldies - The Zahir by Paulo Coelho, Book of Negros by Lawrence Hill, The Power of One by Bryce Courtenay
New - The Last Concubine by Lesley Downer, Let the Great World Spin by Colum McCann
Has anyone suggested something fabulous to you lately? Seen anything on the shelves?

Ooooh darling. Me like this fancy new format!
I haven't been to a chapter's in ages but really want to get over there during one of my lunch breaks. I find that when I've been away for so long, it's intimidating. So many new books to check out and not knowing where to start.
Jump right in I suppose!
I'm also looking forward to having a new reading list for this year and thinking about how far we've all come since this time last year. I think it's safe to say that we are a completely different bunch! So much has happened over the course of a year.
Year 3. So exciting!! I guess we'll be doing picks at the next book club at Jasmine's in a couple of weeks?? I'm very nearly done Three Cups of Tea. Then I'll start on Middlesex. I've got one pick for bookclub picks. I guess we'll have to come up with 2 again this year. Looking forward to it. Don't worry, you'll have your years worth of books by the middle of the month.
Also ~ Chick Flick alert. Julia Roberts in Eat, Pray, Love. Probably won't be out for awhile, but could be worth it. Easier story to make into a movie then Time Travellers Wife.
