"The thing with kids is, if they want to grab for the gold ring, you have to let them do it, and not say anything. If they fall off, they fall off, but it is bad to say anything to them.” ― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher In The Rye

Book Club - What book should we read together in May?

April 28, 2015 Heather Ratliff
bookclubmaysurvey.png

Welcome to Book Club!

I love to hear what everyone else thinks about books I have read or am reading, so what better way to do that than starting a book club? And where is the fun in choosing all of the books myself? That's why I made this survey, so you can tell me what you want to read.  I'll post back in a week what you voted on, and what book we'll all be talking about at the end of the month!

Feel free to vote on whichever book you want to read, or if you're not interested in the selection, add one you are interested in.
