The Language of Flowers

This month we had three books on our book club list. Our discussion of these titles at a local restaurant revealed many different ideas and opinions. All present would agree that our book club allows us to have fun and have relevant discussion with dissenting opinions. We are truly blessed to have the freedom to read and choose our own ideas and to defend our ideas without fear. With that in mind, our discussion began with The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh. Our discussion centered around how the things that happen in our lives, good or bad, are necessary and enable us to make life choices. Many were impressed with The Harbinger by Jonathan Cahn and how today's world events may have greater than "now" meanings. Only one member had read The American Heiress by Daisy Goodwin and had a lukewarm opinion on the book. To complete our professional reading we will read and discuss The Book Whisperer by Donalyn Miller this month. We will also read Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn as our main selection.Other recommended titles include Ashes by Kathryn Lasky, a children's book relating to WWII, and The Stephen King Novel 11/22/63: A Novel. Check your email for the date, time and location of our next meeting. Read On!
