I found my next pick!

I'm in a book club! I love to read, and I love talking with other people who love to read. This year we have read a variety of books, of which there were a few I really did not enjoy, and then some re-reads, which were great the first and second time around, like Tess of the D'Ubervilles by Thomas Hardy. Well, it is almost time for book pick...in December we all get together for a yummy potluck and an evening to suggest books for the coming year. I try to find a book or two that I think will appeal to everyone. Sometimes I'm successful and sometimes not so much. Well, I think I have the book for 2011 that will be of interest to everyone in my book club!

So excited to share it with them...so if you are in my book club...don't read it early...it will be a good discussion book! I'm so excited for it! I read it in just 2 days (about 5 hours) because I couldn't put it down!

I'm not going to tell you more about the book, but I found it a compelling read, and I was drawn into Mercy's story. Sure, Meissner could have fleshed out the characters a bit more...I wouldn't have minded it being 100 pages longer, but I still felt drawn in by the three women, especially Mercy.

So, this is definitely one I will be recommending come December. Anyone else have a book that is a must read? I read about one book a week, and I'm constantly chasing down good books!
