It was another fun night as always, I love to get together with all of you! We&#8217;ve been in a little bit of a swapping slump, but I really enjoy the discussion on everyone&#8217;s choices for the month. So, here&#8217;s what we&#8217;ve been reading:<\/p>\n<p>Christiana read Maria&#8217;s pick, How Hard Can it Be by Allison Pearson. Also, The Line Between by Tosca Lee, about a doomsday cult and it&#8217;s unexpectedly accurate predictions experienced by a member who manages to escape.\u00a0 That sounded really good and unusual!<\/p>\n<p>Ruthann shared two months worth of reading, One Thousand White Women by Jim Fergus, Perfectly You, a memoir by Mariano Atencio and David McCullough&#8217;s latest, The Pioneers. She&#8217;s also been sharing her love of Colson Whitehead with me the last couple weeks, so I&#8217;m going to borrow Nickel Boys for the month.<\/p>\n<p>Shana read the latest of the Stephanie Plum series, Look Alive Twenty-five by Janet Evanovich. She also shared another Megan Miranda mystery, All The Missing Girls which didn&#8217;t live up to the last one from the author, The Perfect Stranger.<\/p>\n<p>Ross borrowed Steve-o&#8217;s memoir from Matt, Professional Idiot.\u00a0 Despite her initial disgust of Steve-o from his television days she really enjoyed his story. She also recommends The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon by Steven King.<\/p>\n<p>Maria read another Lorraine Moriarty novel, The Husband&#8217;s Secret. I&#8217;m excited to hear what Ross thinks of last month&#8217;s What Alice Forgot.<\/p>\n<p>Matt read a thriller Ross and I had read, Before She Knew Him, by Peter Swanson. He also brought in I&#8217;ll Be Gone in the Dark, One Woman&#8217;s Obsessive Search for the Golden State Killer by Michelle McNamara. Ross is borrowing it this month.<\/p>\n<p>I had borrowed The Perfect Stranger by Megan Miranda from Shana.\u00a0 I really enjoyed it. Someone is borrowing it this month&#8230; maybe Maria? so more on that one next month.<\/p>\n<p>I love the diversity of the books we always share and pass. And truly I enjoy the conversations we all have together.\u00a0 Thank&#8217;s again for continuing to come out and make book club so much fun! See you in October!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks everyone for coming out last night, despite the hurricane predictions.\u00a0 I&#8217;m glad nothing happened here, I hope everyone is doing well.
