No, I don't need any help with the gym. I went again last night and am so happy to report that I can walk today. Tomorrow may be another story.
What I actually need help with is this:
My friend Jana Hatch, who happens to be in the relief society presidency of our ward called me and asked me to do a favor. She wants me to be in charge of the 13th ward book club. My dilemma is this, while I love to read, I haven't read a "grown up" book for a while. I don't know how they'd feel about The BFG, which is the book I am reading aloud now to the students. We already did The Miraculous Adventure of Edward Tulane (thanks Sarah). What I am asking for is titles we can read then discuss. So...if you have knowledge of any book that would be fun, please let me know.
Thanks, and I love you!

Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen
Jane Eyre, Charlotte Bronte

I just finished reading
Tunnels, Roderick Gordon and Brian Williams . . .it was good. Anyways, I get carried away when talking about books. Hope that helped!
O.k. MY favorite books of all time are
1. Farmer Boy By: Laura Ingalls Wilder
2. Tom Sawyer
3. Huckleberry Finn
Although these are not newly "authored" books, they are classic little treasures.

O.k.

Umm...we need to talk..and of course I want to join the book club!
I have been reading alot of self help books latly and they aren't that exciting, but I listened to the twilight books they were good. I love to read Jack Weyland I know they are more teen but I like them and have read almost all of his. I did read the 5 love languages and recomend that EVERY couple read that book it was a good helper. I would like to do a couple of these book club books this year since my goal is to read at least one book a month. I will keep trying to think of something. A good LDS romance sure would be fun.!!!! Maybe just any romance book!!!!!
Hi Kathy! I don't know what type of books you're looking for and "fun" is not how I'd describe this one but, my fav book of all time is The Peacegiver by James L. Ferrell. It isn't a large book but a life-changing one! I'm anxious to find out what you pick. I think I'll climb aboard this time and join the club! I do have to add that I really DON'T like fictional books. I know reading is supposed to be a waste of time but, I'd like to think I'm getting a little something out of it. I'm in the club either way though!
And...I love you too! You're such an amazing person!
Hey Kathy Tear Soup would be a good one other than it is written as a childrens book and is short really short like we would read it that night and discuss which would be good for those of us who have gone through a little tear soup and can relate. It would be a very emotional night possibly. But good to be surrounded with women and friends. For those who are wanting a more indepth book (longer/bigger) they probabley wouldn't like it but I think it is an amazing book and touched on everything life throws us with dealing with a loss. Call me when u can chat more and I can read it to you. You can decide. Oh I also just read the Peace Giver and it was an amazing book too. Koodos for me if u choose this one. lol
