The Great Gastby

I'm going to start a book club of sorts. If you would like to read along with me that would be great. If you want to make any comments please post them or message me on Facebook. I know that it is too complicated trying to post a comment in Blogger so just leave any comments that you have on my Facebook page or email them to me at indiegirl2011@yahoo.com

I am not scheduling a time that you have to read. Just read at your own pace. At each chapter I will post a question or comment I just want to know how you feel about what you read. My goal is to get people interested in reading again.

There are two books that I want to discuss once again you do not have to read both. The first one will be The Great Gatsby by Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald and the second one is The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien.

Next Saturday (or whenever I feel like it) I will post something on each book.

The VlogBrothers are also reading The Great Gatsby here is the link to that video.

Book Worms Unite!!!

Yes, I read a lot and yes, I have a lot of books. Here is my reading list for August.

1. The Hobbit By J.R.R Tolkien - I read the entire Lord of the Rings series at least once a year. 

2.  Percy Jackson and the Olympians  By Rick Riordan - EXCELLENT books for both children and adults. The author is a genius mixing Greek history with the modern world. A great way to brush up on Greek mythology. Also, a great tool to help children learn a little about Greek history. This series sits right next to my Harry Potter books.

3. The Great Gatsby F. Scott Fitsgerald - Just started this book. So far so good.

4.  Mountain Men by George Laycoc - History of the trappers out here in the west. Amazing stories of their battles with the Native American tribes, nature, and what they discovered.

If anyone has read any of these books let me know what you think about them.
