Book Club & Traveling

We met for book club this past Friday - and as usual had a lot of fun! This month we read "Speak" by Laurie Halse Anderson. It is one of my Favorite books - and one that I think everyone should read! The main character has such a fun "voice." She is very sarcastic, without being cynical. It is really well written and I just love how throughout the book she learns that she can speak up for herself! In the beginning of the book the main character is just starting high school - and all of her friends are mad at her about something that happened over the summer. But no one knows what really happened - and Melinda doesn't even want to think about it. I think this review says it perfectly: "An uncannily funny book even as it plumbs the darkness, Speak will hold readers from first word to last." It is a really, really good book - and I have it if anyone wants to borrow it!

Also - we are looking forward to going to Missouri tomorrow. Alli's wedding is on Saturday, so we're really happy we get to be there! We are hoping that traveling goes as well this time as it did last time!! :)
