January's Book

So my very good friend Hilary is supposedly a part of this book club, but right now she is busy working and being pregnant... so we will need to pick a new book without her.

Does anyone have any books they are dying to read?

Here are my suggestions... let me know if you like any of them.

-Silver Linings Playbook by Matthew Quick
-Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion (I think Ella just read this)
-The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier &Clay by Michael Chabon
-Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson
-Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe
-The Swiss Famly Robinson by Johann David Wyss

All of these are on my nightstand, so any of them will make me happy... so you decide... and quickly so we can start reading!

I hope you all are having a great New Years Eve!!!! I hope 2013 is a great year for all!

    1. Honestly, I will go with the crowd. Like I said, I loved it, but I know some people have issues with reading profanity. At least there is nothing sexual in it.

  3. I vote for Treasure Island or Robinson Crusoe! I will have to see if any of the others are at my library, otherwise, I can't read it. :)

  4. Alright I have one vote for Warm Bodies, and one vote for either Treasure Island or Robinson Crusoe... we might be reading 2 books this month. Which I am okay with!

    2. You wouldn't be reading two... you just read Warm Bodies, and that is one I'm 3/4ths the way through. It's the other one I'm still trying to determine. =)

      PS I need to talk to you when you're free!!! I was in Oregon... but now I'm home and I miss your voice and your face!

  5. i am determined to finish A Christmas Carol as soon as possible! December was manic for us with poorly children in hospital, and family visits. I'm already 50% though, so it will only take me a couple of days. Then I want to be awkward and vote Silver linings :)But as it is, I vote treasure Island.

  6. I am good with Silver linings. I am not sure I want to read another classic right now. . . However I have been thinking it might be interesting to read Don Quixiote. . . I have never read it, but am a HUGE fan of the musical. In face I name inanimate objects and my Kindle's name is Dulcinea. . .

  7. Okay for sure I am seeing Warm Bodies to talk about... I'm almost done with it and I can't wait to talk about it. As for the second one... it looks like Treasure Island and Silver linings are tied, and we need a tie breaker!!!!!

  8. I'm going to chime in for the first time on here and break the tie by voting for Silver Lingings.
    Also, I am prepared and SO PUMPED for February! <3
