On March 12^th we met up @ Zio’s to discuss Kathy’s book the Nineth Wife and Kris’s book Nineteen Minutes.
I have to be honest the night of the meeting I wasn’t able to contribute much since I had only read halfway through both books. I don't know what's the matter with me besides at the time I was working on the taxes but it just seems that I've been so sleepy once I get home from work that I'm lucky I don't fall asleep and fall face first in my plate. Wouldn't that be pretty?

The first book we they reviewed was The Ninth Wife by Amy Stolls. The title tells it all or does it? Why do you get married, why do some throw it away so fast, why do some stay in a married.... why why why?  What woman in her right mind would consider marrying a man who has been married 8 times prior?

One or two girls actually said the character Rory charmed them and said they would have married him and been his 9th wife too. Rory is definitely a charmer and it would have been easy to fall for him but I’d always be worried when he might someone who just needed his help and he’d think he’d have to marry them and leave me.  So is he a catch or not I just don’t know? So do you think he and Bess will make it for the long haul?  LOL We were suppose to review this book back in February but unfortunately Kathy, who chose the book was getting ready to have surgery and we decided to wait and combine this book with the next book hoping Kathy would be well enough to join us but unfortunately she wasn't. Some of the group claimed they are suckers for romance and thought this book was more realistic than some of the romance stories we've happened to read prior.  The group would recommend reading. We had a great turn out that night. There were 10 of us present.

The second book we they reviewed was Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult. How long does it take to totally shatter the lives of the people in the small town of Sterling, NH? This book I finished the day after the meeting. I mean I had too. There was a twist that I didn't expect and I had to find out how that happened. This book is something you read or hear about in the news but pray to God it never hits near home.

Towards the end of the book one of the characters asked this question "What is your strongest memory of high school? 1/2 of us won't remember anything concrete and the other 1/2 will block it because it was too painful or embarrassing."  Can you relate?  
Most people grow up and realize these incidents in the grand scheme of things are just small pieces of the puzzle that molds us into what we are today while others who can't see the whole picture turn out like Peter.
I guess our reading group has turned out pretty good so we have dealt with our high school years. Thank God.
Kathy & Kris had a great turn out. I always look forward to an evening with my friends and lively conversation.

The next to choose was Lauren  and her book choice was The Shack by William P. Young. Don't delay. Get that book and get to reading.

Until our next meeting....
