I am actually in multiple book clubs, but with my busy work schedule I hardly have time to read and attend the meetings. I finally finished a book this week, The Ocean at the End of the Lane: A Novel by Neil Gaiman. I found this book on the shelf at Barnes & Noble and picked it up. I read the back and it seemed like an interesting read to me. I suggested it to my book club, and it ended up being the one we decided on for this month. One … [Read more...]
