Book Title Correction on Reading Suggestions

The book title posted as "Sun Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See" is actually called SNOW Flower and the Secret Fan.

Here is a link to Lisa See's website and the recommended title: http://www.lisasee.com/snowflower.htm

I have read this book and really enjoyed it. I rated it 5 out of 5 stars on http://www.shelfari.com. I also read another book by Lisa See entitled Peony in Love and rated it 4 out of 5 stars.

2012 Monthly Book Club Tips to think on!

taken from: http://www.readinggroupguides.com/roundtable/tips.asp

March

As this is Women's History Month, think about reading a biography that celebrates a famous female.

Write a list of books that have meant something to you as a woman and share it with your fellow book club members.

In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, think about reading something from an Irish author or something about Irish history.

Take a blank book and fill in the pages with some of your group's favorite recipes from your meetings. It will be another way of charting your group's "history."

February

In honor of Black History Month, share lists of titles from some of your favorite African-American authors.

Since winter can be cold and blustery in so much of the country, think about reading a title set in a warm place or with a summer theme to think about warmer, carefree summer days.

No matter how you feel about it, Valentine's Day invades our world in February. With that in mind we have collected five titles with "Red" in their titles and five titles with "Love" in their titles that you might want to explore.
January

Have each member of the group make a yearlong reading resolution. This can be something like vowing to read new authors or explore a new genre. Write these down and re-visit them in December to see how many have been kept!

Empower yourself for the new year by reading a biography of someone you admire and then share something you never knew about that person with your group.

Share your favorite title about self-improvement with members of your group.

Each month, have each member bring a book that he or she has read beyond the group's book club selection. Tell other club members about it in a couple of lines. Once you go around the room sharing your selections, think how many books you will have learned about.
