Let's get started

Great idea Emily! In an effort to make that happen may I suggest the following. Anyone with a suggestion as to what book we all should read, please post it as a comment to this post. On Sunday, 29-Jun (or as soon after that date as I remember to do so), I'll draw numbers out of a hat that correspond to the suggestions made, and will then post which book was chosen, along with a date to have it read by.

I think I will keep track of books suggested for choosing in future picks as well, so please feel free to comment away!

Just an idea.

Most of you have book clubs that you go to, but I only have this blog and it's not at all like a book club. I was thinking that if you're all amenable to the idea that we would have a monthly or every other monthly book that we all read and then post our feelings on. We could also do updates or "I'm at this part" posts. We could switch off picking the books and so forth. I don't know it's just an idea. Let me know what you think.

Green Rider and First Rider's Call by Kristen Brittain

I'm actually not sure if I've posted about these books before, but I just finished them again and wanted to talk about them.
They are adult fantasy/fiction. I've read them both several times and I just love them. I find the main characters believable and the story engaging. The main character is Karigan G'ladheon who, after running away from school because of being wrongfully suspended, finds herself thrown into an adventure that includes magic and much danger. Both books are wonderful and very well written. They are also two of only a few adult/high fantasy books I've found that don't have any questionable material or outright gross ideas.
The problems and the ideas are more adult, but the content is clean which I love for a change when I've been reading a bunch of young adult fantasy. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach

This book is marvelous. It's a short, easy read - slow readers can finish it in two hours. It's one of my favorites and I'm surprised I haven't posted about it yet. I'm told this book was quite popular during my siblings growing up years (so during the 70's), and I'm not surprised. It has a great story line with a great message. I'm interested to hear people's favorite parts of this book. So perhaps those who've not yet read it shouldn't read the comments as it may contain small spoilers as people share their favorite parts.
