For relief society in my ward, we are doing a bookclub and reading a different book for each month. Okay so really the only reason that I decided to go to bookclub was for the social aspect. Well I figured out really quick that it is not going to be much of a social party unless I read the books assigned. So I decided to go and get a membership at the public library and get the first book for the month of September for our bookclub. Now if you know me well, you know that I really dislike to read so this is huge for me. Plus I warned all the girls in bookclub that the books can not be much longer than 200 pages or I will never get it read. Contrare my friends. I did it. The book is called "Follow the River". I was a little skeptical at first and was not quite sure if I would enjoy it or not. I abosultely LOVED it. I could not put it down and every spare minute I had, I was picking up that book to read it. I would highly reccomment this book. It was AWESOME. This lady went through some major trials in her life and overcame them and more. I was thinking to myself I have been through a major trial in my life and overcame it, but I don't know if I could have done what she did. I won't give anything away just in case you would like to read it, but it is a winner.

Love that pic of her at the top of the blog.
LOL You're so funny. I never thought I'd hear those words from your mouth "book club rocks"
I'm very proud of you.
You're growing up right before my eyes, maybe you'll be doing the book club at your next ward;)
I am so happy you loved the book, I can't wait to talk about it in a couple of weeks, I hope everyone else loved it too, there is also a made for t.v movie of the book that is pretty good as well, if you could find a copy anywhere, I know they have them online.
Actually I just bought it on DVD so you can borrow it, or we can watch it when we meet for book club
Man, I was totally going to read it but I heard about the detailed murdering of the baby at the beginning and it scared me away. But most everyone I have talked to has loved it. So maybe I just need to read it!!
