The Husband's Secret

I have organized a real-honest-to-goodness book club in my neighborhood which will (hopefully) help me post more regularly here about the great books that are out there!

If you are trying to do something with your own group of friends, I have found the website www.bookmovement.com very helpful.  It helps me organize my own club, to choose books, to organize discussion questions... I love it!

This October's book is The Husband's Secret about Liane Moriarty.

I have been looking for a great book to grab me ever since I finished Gone Girl a few years ago and this one fit the bill!  Just imagine finding an envelope from your husband with the instructions to open upon the event of his death!  Once I read that line in the book I was in, hook, line and sinker!

Just in case you haven't read the book yet, the discussion among those who have can take place in the comments section below.

Enjoy!

Gone Girl - Hope Studios' Book Club

First of all, I think Gillian Flynn must be all kinds of messed up to think of this amazing story of Nick and Amy's relationship!!  I would seriously sleep with one eye open if I was her husband.

I was OB. SESSED. with this book during the 2 days it took me to read it.  I love books that hook me and keep me off guard and this book did both.  I was on such an emotional roller coaster from section 1-3 that after a while I didn't know what was what!  Insane.

Here are some good questions to get the discussion rolling...

**How did you feel about Nick during the first section of the book?  Did you doubt his innocence?

**Did you have any clue about what would be revealed when you turned the page into the second part of the book?

**Did you feel like Nick was absolved from cheating when more of Amy's personality was revealed or is cheating always wrong?

**Amy is psycho!  But isn't Nick, too???

**How did you feel when the pregnancy was revealed at the end?  Did you figure out this last card she played before it was revealed?

**Did you wish the book ended differently or was it fitting for the type of relationship Nick and Amy had?

I'm looking for suggestions for our next book!  Let's get through Christmas and plan to discuss a new book around the end of January.

Check back here on Sunday for an Elf on the Shelf Party! We can share all our silly, funny, creative Elf ideas so we're all set for all the Elf craziness in December!

Juniper's Book Club

I can't tell you how many times I've heard or said "I wish I were in a book club..."

So let's do this thing!  Let's make our own club, and choose our own books, and tell our own stories!  Let's make it casual, where you can drop in if you like the book and no problem if you don't.

Are you in???

I'm thinking that the last Friday of each month could be Hope Studios' Book Club where we can discuss that we've read.

Let's begin with a roll call of everyone interested and your vote for our first book...
