The Space Between Us
- This book takes place in India. It clearly shows the difference between the upper class and the people born in poverty. There are many situations that are common to many people no matter what their station in life. It is how these problems are handled by the two families we follow thru their trials and tribulations that is the crux of this story.

You Can Choose to be Happy, Melanie Thom
- We loved this compelling, quick and easy read. This book is bible based and we were able to have some stimulating conversations following this read on choosing to live a life of joy and happiness. The book encourages one to reevaluate their mindset. I actually read the book twice.

Waterless Places by Elaine Henderson on

Media In Terror
- Media In Terror by Muhammad Adeel Javaid is an attempt to show that the theatrical and dramatic ways the media report terrorist acts encourage further violence. It attempts to illuminate the interdependent nature of the relationship between the media and terrorists, which should help explain or expose the conventions and narratives the media adopt in reporting terrorist acts. It is a research work and undertakes a deep study based on Case Learning Model and suggests the ways in which the media should cover such activities and defines the Do’s and Don’ts for covering such events. The Arab world is considered as a menace by most of the western media who are reluctant to create a balanced image of the Arabs and sometimes the heroes of today becomes terrorists of tomorrow. It is quite necessary that the media should play a balanced role and should try to give a balanced coverage of events to avoid prejudice because they are no doubt the oracle of our time.

Good Things Happened Today
- Good Things Happened Today by Christopher Atwood was a fascinating read - gave us a lot to talk about and a lot to think about.
- —Guest Katherine
The REDHOUSE Project
- We are reading this new book and we are loving it. The author Shaun Hoilett takes you on a ride along with the main character Frank Bolan who is a young reporter that after receiving his first assignment that seems pretty easy finds himself in an unexpected situation that involves the Russians plotting to take over America in a very realistic way. It is a fascinating read.

Sarah's Key

The Help
- The best book, I think, we all agreed thus far was 'The Help'. Wonderfully written, witty & touching with the real equal rights issue at heart.....

The Shack
- A powerful book showing not only suffering but God's love for us.

The Paris Wife
- This book makes you obsessed with Hemingway. Now I want to read Hemingway books for our book club, not sure which is the best one? But have taken out ones from the library all about him and his life with lots of photos.
- —Guest Lauri Evans
The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton
- Even though The Forgotten Garden was 560 pages, it our group's favorite for the year. Many members read Morton's other two published books -- all three are Gothic novels.
