I found your site and picked up two books on your list. I just finished We need to talk about Kevin. I did not care for the style of writing and that put me off a bit, however the story pulled me. I am a teacher myself, and we all have kids we know from the start who seem off, that you just can’t get close too. I have seen parents act the same way the main character does towards her son. I found it very disturbing and sad. Still I think it will spark great debate in our book club, and I am going to put it on our list.<br />I am reading The Book Thief and I hope to read Little Stranger after that. I would like to recommend anything by Michelle Moran. She is an awesome writer and she spoke via telephone with us about her booksMysoft101http://www.mysoft101.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453890267354195934.post-41561340263728764022010-12-02T01:01:40.836-05:002010-12-02T01:01:40.836-05:00How wonderful!

I will never forget it. <br /><br />Sounds like a great Book club meeting. How special. I had an author respond to me on Twitter & offer to call my Book Club, so we could chat with her about her book, it was all set up then we had to cancel the meeting. I was heart broken. I love that authors are willing to be accessible to their readers.Star Forbishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02724403615424733890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453890267354195934.post-82552339705956274292010-11-24T15:36:39.006-05:002010-11-24T15:36:39.006-05:00How wonderful she came to your book club - yes the...How wonderful she came to your book club - yes there are authors who are amazingly kind and gracious people who simply wish to interact with their readers - now if I could just find a book club...sigh...Crone and Bear Ithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17237086233125229191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453890267354195934.post-88612531120228769642010-11-24T11:26:30.025-05:002010-11-24T11:26:30.025-05:00Always fun to discover how authors love to talk ab...Always fun to discover how authors love to talk about their books.

Also dare I admit prior to reading this post I had never heard of Anne Hood but I have already looked her up on Amazon UK and the paperback is to be released there next May. This has gone straight on my Wishlist. It really appeals to me, somehow even more having been to China for the first time earlier this year.
