The Waiting Place

Find our next book for your Kindle or Nook!

Excerpt from "The Waiting Place" by Eileen Button:

"The following essays breathe life into common (and not so common) waiting places. I hope you find yourself in these pages and conclude, as I have, that some of the most priceless gifts can be discovered while waiting for something else.

I am absolutely convinced that some of the most beautiful things happen if we are willing to quiet our hearts, lean into the waiting place, and listen to what it tells us. When we do, we will often be astonished by what is has to say."

Can't wait to dig in and read this collection of beautifully & cleverly written essays with you!

"We'll Always Have Summer...."

Hey Readers, here's our next book just in time for lazy, summer days.

The cover of this book is simple yet captivating, and the title just pulls me in for some summer romance. The light in this picture, the white dress...I'm intrigued!

Let's absorb this book in the next two weeks while soaking up the sun!

The Bean Trees

After belly laughs with Tina, are you ready to hop in the car for a roadtrip? Our next read is a little more serious in nature, and takes us on a journey as real as life with unexpected twists and turns.

Pick up "The Bean Tree" through Amazon or B & N, OR your local library, and together let's buckle up for a new adventure. Our goal: finish this book by Memorial Day!

Laughs from Bossypants by Andrea

Snow White vs. Sleeping Beauty, ivory soap and Prell shampoo, a sort-of boyfriend falling off a mountain, the never-ending question of whether to brush out the tight curls or leave them, dead shark eyes, gay friend comes out, expecting shock...gay friend 'loses the room'...gay friend tries to run over mom and girlfriend with car, gluing one's ears down to look like Sarah Palin, a honeymoon from hell, a Peter Pan-themed birthday party, feminism and sexism in comedy..Tina Fey covers it all. And does so hysterically.

Bossypants literally made me shout with laughter..and stop to wonder how all the working moms I know really do 'juggle it all'. And why do men assume no one wants to see two women in a comedy sketch? Idiots...Anyway, lessons learned from Tina's book include: flat feet are not the end of the world, Amy Poehler doesn't f-ing care if you like it, photo shoots are really not that fun, and 30 Rock isn't the hit show we all thought it was.

Bossypants

Our first book is Tina Fey's "Bossypants", hilarious insights into Tina's journey in showbiz and family life. Check out excerpts from this hilarious book!

Our goal: Laugh our butts off with this book and finish up by May 1st.

In 5 Years, We'll All Be Different

"You will be the same person in five years as you are today except for the people you meet and the books you read."

We're embarking on a journey together, and when the road ends, we won't be quite the same. The people we've met will have enriched our lives, and the books we've read, well, they'll have transformed us.

Here's the 5 year plan. Let's read together. Let's open books, visit libraries, light up our Kindles, and take a journey together. Over the next 5 years, let's read modern novels, funny essays, ancient manuscripts, medieval musings, inspirational scribblings...let's read, and live, and grow together.

After 5 years, we'll look back proudly at the 100 books we've read together, the 100 places we've traveled (even if only in our imaginations), and the thousands of people we've encountered through our reads.

'What then?' you five year readers ask. 'What shall we do then?' Well, then we shall compose another 5 year reading plan!

Let the pages turn, and the stories unfold. Our 5 year reading plan begins now!
