So its that time again...my book club is picking our second book of the year. It was particularly hard for me to pick something for the coming month because Feb is not only a short month but also African American History month and the month of Love (lol). I wanted our picks to be a mix of African American authors and chick-lit. I started by choosing from about nine books.
Among them where the following ~
1) The Weird Sisters by Eleanor Brown
2) The Lost Memoirs of Jane Austen by Syrie James
3) The Book of Night Women by Marlon James
4) The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd
5) Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston
6) Wench by Dolen Perkins-Valdez
7) Bring on the Blessings by Beverly Jenkins
8) The Art of Devotion by Samantha Bruce - Benjamin (second month running)
9) Mr. Darcy Broke My Heart by Beth Pattilo
The Process of weeding out the selections doesn't really take much time. I read a few reviews of each of the books and look at their individual ratings on Goodreads ( http://www.goodreads.com ). From there I decide on two and then post them to the forum page on facebook. And our two choices for this month are......
We will be deciding on what to read by Feb 3rd....
