Literate Housewives Unite!

I know that I am not the only person (housewife or not) who loves to read.  As much as I enjoy reading for my own pleasure, it would be nice to be able to talk about books with others.  I know I’m not alone in that, either.  There are book clubs just about everywhere.  I just haven’t been able to find one to suite me in my area.  Without any other alternatives, I’m going to create my own.  I can’t take complete credit for the inspiration.  It came up during a phone conversation I had with my best friend, Trista.  She lamented that when I post what I’m currently reading that she doesn’t even have time to buy the book before I’m finished with it.  We selected a book and agreed to read sections at a time so that we can discuss it.  There are 700 miles of road between us.  If we can do it, why shouldn’t other people join us?  If you would like to read and discuss books with Trista, and other readers, I’m inviting you to join the group: 

The Literate Housewives Book Club 

Our first selection is Perfect Match by Jodi Picoult.  For more information, check out the new blog.  It’s still a work in progress, but I plan on having it completed by the time we begin our first book.
