Pick a book!
OK, here are the picks for our virtual Book Club. In making selctions, I chose books that are available in paperback, to make joining in more affordable. Links are to Amazon.com, for ease, but we encouarge you to support your LIBS (Local Independent Book Store) whenever you can.
The Post-Birthday World by Lionel Shriver. A woman explores two paths through her future in narratives that initially diverge, then converge. Shriver, a Tarheel by birth, lives in London.
Water for Elephants by Sarah Gruen. Algonquin's baby became a runaway bestseller when it was released in paperback -- am I the only person who hasn't read it already?
The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. This story of an Afghan-American returning to Kabul was a terrific hit in hardback and is now a movie.

Virtual bookclub pick
I have just finished reading the knitting series by Debbie Macomber: The Shop on Blossom Street, A Good Yarn, and Back on Blossom Street. Believe it or not, you don't have to be a knitter to enjoy these books. I've only knit a few basic things in my entire life, but the real story here is the amazing relationships that are formed when several women gather for a knitting class. Debbie Macomber tells a wonderful story, and you don't have to read them in order (I started with A Good Yarn, which was absolutely wonderful!). Highly recommended!
To read
Robert Alexander: "The Kitchen Boy"; "Rasputin's Daughter"; "The Romanov Bride"
