What do you do when your current reads are not really what you are in the mood for? Well, you start a new one of course. Which is what I’m doing today. Nothing wrong with my current book selection but at the same time I felt like I wanted to read something a bit different.
I picked up various books and couldn’t decide on one until I chose The Wednesday Sisters by Meg Waite Clayton. This is a story about five women who form a sister-like bond one summer. They have many things in common but the one thing they all want to be is writers.
When I read the synopsis of this book I smiled because I remember my best friends from high school. Through the years we’ve stayed in touch and I still consider these girls my dear friends. We have taken trips together, been there through weddings, births, trying times, etc. It’s really something to have such a long and deep connection with friends isn’t it?
Well, and we do have to stay in each other’s good graces as we each have incrimianting photos of one another during questionable fashion phases and interesting hairstyles. Ha,ha. I love my best friends and hope this book reminds me of some of our adventures.
Anyway, what about you? Picked up a new book to read?
I had a hard time with reading in June, but it is going a bit better in July.
I read this one a year or so ago and enjoyed it. It will definitely remind you of why your friendships are so precious to you.
This book has been sitting on my pile for ages, lol. I look forward to hearing your thoughts. 🙂
Well, I have been hoping to find this here in my library, it is not available though 🙂
I have not chosen yet 🙁
You would probably enjoy The Girls From Ames, which is about that sisterhood formed with friends from HS. I hope this book lives up to your expectations! I was ready to start reading “If I Stay” and “Where She Went” but then remembered I needed to read a book for book club called “What Alice Forgot”. I was grumbling a little. But it is WONDERFUL. I’m so enjoying it. What a great little surprise.
I’ve been reading an eclectic mix of books lately so I understand the need to read something different.Right now I’m in the middle of a graphic novel, a classic, and a non-fiction read.
I like the sound of this book. This made me laugh and I know it’s true: “Well, and we do have to stay in each other’s good graces as we each have incrimianting photos of one another during questionable fashion phases and interesting hairstyles.”
Hope you enjoy your new read!
This one sounds great. I’m really into female bonding books at the moment, maybe it’s time to organise a get together with my girlfirends! 🙂
Every so often a change of pace is needed. I tend to enjoy friendship novels, but don’t read them often, but they are a welcome change when I do read them.
Photographs are so wonderful…until fashions change! I have quite a few that could be embarrassing examples of clothes and hair styles. 🙂
I have this book on my bookshelf for over a year. I bought it because I like the cover. I will get to it by September. I am now reading “A Soldier’s Wife” I just can’t put it down.
