Christine’s comments from the The Reading Challenge Group group.

and I as well will be reading all of Steinbeck . sooooo good

well I just finished East of Eden by John Steinbeck !!! Amazing. Next is To Kill A Mockingbird on audio and starting Little Women.

oh wow Flowers for Algernon. now I think o should read it again

enjoying East of Eden by John Steinbeck so much. But tackling it 10 pages at a time with a friend. Long books usually scare me. Listening to another book on my ride to work and back. I have picked some books for next month alreafy

Who is up for keeping our little book club going for 2020?

Finished The Pearl by John Steinbeck and found my copy of East of Eden by the same author. I bought this book years ago when Oprah had it as her bookclub pick. Time to tackle it 10-20 pages at a time for classics month.

I am going to start next month with Animal Farm. Mainly because it has been on my shelf forever. And it is short. I'm not sure I will like it, but perfect timing.

This is the first time I really am focusing on the Genre of the Month.. This month I read The Girl on the Train. I am also enjoying The Reckening by John Grisham. I am still trying to figure out if it is a thriller. haha.

Well I picked The Reckoning by John Grisham. It came up as a thriller. We will see. Has anybody read it?

I decided to read First a book about Sandra Day O'Connor. Although I misread the fiction part. Enjoying it so far.

I have chosen The Nightingale as my book for this month.

simplicity

I have read The Power of Habits.. as I am trying to make some changes.

Me too and might do the same now, since I am sure they are there. My friend and I had a competition on who could read them the fastest. Now I will enjoy every word :)

I would like to get in on this buddy read. How far into the series are you? I loved these books as a little girl and received a book about the author that I never read and hopefully still have. But would like to read that after the series.
Are you doing one book a month still?

Read a romantic Comedy called Five Minutes Late by Rich Amooi. This was a cute little book. Simple and perfect for this month of Romance. :)

I read a book called Flirting with Felicity. It is a cute romance that I started last year and went back to it to finish this year. It is a cute book of romance..Just happy to have finish it.

Start with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action I read this book for the New Beginnings Theme. As I am working towards some goals this year, this book is great place to start by determining your WHY. I have personally spent my 30 year career in nursing helping others. This book has helped me to focus on my WHY. Most leaders have a distinct WHY. Followers are the What people and do what the WHY people say. I am working on my WHY to be about ME. I have mastered it being about others.

Hi I live in PA and really love the idea of a Monthly Theme. I loved to read and have set some goals this year to get back on track.

how about a book that fills your heart with joy
