Books are Sooper.

Hi guys!

So I haven't posted on my own blog in a million billion but I hope to be a better "club" member so I'll try to blog with y'all.

I thought some of you might appreciate a few recommendations I received for the reading list. It's pretty diverse so there may be at least one that interests you. I was also thinking some feedback would be nice, getting an indication of what the majority of people are interested in reading together will help me pick a book when it's my turn.

Your Co-Super, Amazing, Clubbee,

Maren

February Book



This was the first book discussed and I think that all in all everyone enjoyed it and said that they would recommend the book to someone else. I liked how we all were able to come up with our own quirky behaviors that we do and felt like we could relate to the young boy because of it. I would love for Steve to post the website on here of the Autistic man that thought it could have been written differently.

Feel free to comment or go ahead and write things right within this post. This is our blog, we can do whatever we want with it!

Welcome to the Book Club Blog!

I thought this would give us an opportunity to be involved in the book club even if we were unable to read the book or come to book club one month. We can also post reminders for book club. I have added everyone in the club to be an author, so that we all have access to write on here. Enjoy!!
