Barb says, "I'm reading the February book club pick The Alice Network by Kate Quinn."
Mary Kay says, "I just finished the new Melody Carlson book Once Upon a Christmas Carol. Very good book. Nice short Christmas read."
Anita says, "I am reading Half Broke Horses Jeannette Walls, the author of The Glass Castle. It's a personal memoir about Walls' grandmother, Lily Casey Smith. It is just as good and endearing as her best known novel, The Glass Castle. I highly recommend!
Stacy says "I am reading currently reading The Serpent King by Jeff Zentner. It is about three high school friends that are preparing for what life will be like after graduation. I am enjoying the twists and turns the book is taking."
