207894 Happy New Year! I've decided to bring back the book club and am going to announce a new book every other month.

207894 I've only just realized that I haven't been keeping this group up to date on the book of the month! Apologies! Last month's book was Hunger by Roxane Gay and it was announced over on the IG account: @ourfantasticbooks.

Go follow that account for more updates and I'll also be more active here too! K, since it's now almost the middle of the month, I'm going to extend March's book in April as well.

Drum roll....

I've picked Ready Player One by Ernest Cline - I just have to see what all the hype if about and it's such a turn from last month's pick. Interesting!

Grab a copy and let's read together!

207894 Hey all! I've picked Small Great Things for this month! I started reading this book last month and stopped because I wanted to pause and keep it for the book of the month for this book club - grab a copy! I love how the writer is writing from each character's point of view and it's really made me (again) pause and think about things - I'm really enjoying it and think you will too! Also, keep an eye out on my blog for a review on Franny & Zooey! http://sarahrocksdale.wixsite.com/blog

207894 Hi guys! I apologize this post is so late! If you follow this book club's Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/ourfantasti...), you might have already seen November's book announced over there - I completely forgot to announce it over here! I've picked Franny & Zooey by J.D. Salinger =)

I was watching the movie, Carrie Pilby on Netflix and this book was brought up multiple times throughout the movie and you know what...? I hate to admit this but I haven't read anything from J.D. Salinger.. until now! Here's a link to that movie: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2989524/

ALSO - I wrote a review on Hamlet on my blog earlier this month. I get a little more personal but if you'd like to read it, click here: http://sarahrocksdale.wixsite.com/blo...

Grab a copy of this month's book and let's read together! I'm thinking of adding my book reviews on my blog too instead of a video - I really enjoyed adding linked references to my blog post and think that makes sense to do going forward. I think it makes a total package of what I was thinking and feeling while reading the book of the month.

Follow this book club on IG too and share your photos so I can re-post them! https://www.instagram.com/ourfantasti...
October's Book! (1 new)
Oct 02, 2017 03:06PM

207894 It's fall and October of course makes me think of all things spooky and fun =D Wanted to pick another classic as well - Shakespeare's Hamlet! I actually really wanted to see the play in New York over the summer (with Oscar Isaac and Keegan Michael Key) but didn't get a chance to go so I started craving this book!

Let me know what you think and of course grab a copy! I'm going to share some thoughts on Jane Eyre soon so keep an eye out!

207894 Hey guys! I'm really excited about this month's pick because ages ago, I borrowed this from the library and only got half-way through it!!! UGH!!! Anyway, I picked Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte =) Yup, I'm continuing with the Bronte sisters!

Pick up a copy and let's read together! I'm also planning to film a book review for this one on my YT channel as well at the end of this month which will be a new series over there so subscribe if you're not already! https://www.youtube.com/sarahrocksdale

207894 Hope you guys are having a great start to the month! I've picked Johnathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach for June! I've heard about this one recently and thought it sounded like an uplifting, positive story - excited to read it! Grab a copy! Also, the photos in this book are beautiful too! I honestly didn't realize this one was so slim too haha! That's the second time I've picked a pretty quick read but I hope you guys like this!

207894 Hope you guys are having a great start to the month - and Happy Star Wars Day (couldn't resist lol). I recently picked up Brave Enough by Cheryl Strayed and am loving it! Grab a copy & let's read together!

207894 Hey guys! I've just announced April's book on my blog, (http://sarahrocksdale.wixsite.com/blog) and am excited to share it with you here!
Chuck Palahniuk is one of my favorite authors but this is a VERY different pick from the previous books in this book club. His writing style is dark, twisted - and I love it!
If you like scary/twisted stories, join me this month in reading Lullaby! So far, I've only read Diary & Choke from him but I would love to read everything... esp. Haunted =)

Hope you guys are having a great weekend and follow the book club's Instagram for pics and updates if you aren't already! I'm also thinking of adding some giveaways over there soon as well so keep an eye out! Here's the link: https://www.instagram.com/ourfantasti...

207894 Hi everyone! Hope you enjoyed Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert! For February, I've picked All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr! I've had several family members and friends tell me this book is beautifully written, with an incredible story that's a must-read!

I picked up a copy from my local library and am going to start on it today. Let me know how you liked Big Magic and follow this book club on Instagram! It's @ourfantasticbooks

207894 Hey guys! Hope you're enjoying this month's book! I've been really liking it and would love to read Elizabeth Gilbert's other books - this is the first one I've picked up!
