Thank you to Kendra for hosting January's book club and for recommending the book, The Hunger Games. Most everyone seemed to enjoy it and those that weren't crazy about the story-line still couldn't seem to put the book down. The main question we couldn't all agree on was who Catniss should end up with...
Our book read for February will be As Time Goes By by Jerry Borrowman. If his name sounds familiar to you it's because we read Three Against Hitler in April, 2009 and A Distant Prayer: Miracles of the 49th Combat Mission in April, 2008. Here is a summary of the book we will be reading this month:
LDS Historical Fiction.
A World War II Novel-Battle of Britain.
"The outbreak of war threatened all families living in England, including
the rich and powerful. Lord Philip Carlyle, a member of Winston
Churchill’s War Cabinet, was keenly aware of the danger as the father
of two military age sons, Michael and Dominic. Although both were
born in America they had spent most of their lives living at Carlyle
Manor near London. Now their adopted country would call on them at
its hour of greatest need."
The book review will be at Patti's on February 15th and, if all goes as planned, we will have the pleasure of having the author, Jerry Borrowman, join us that evening to share his insights and answer our questions. To help us prepare for this occasion I thought I'd share his Bio from Goodreads:
