This year, Kelly and I branched out from just classical literature and are, instead, reading a variety of genres for a variety of ages. As was last year, the purpose of the 2C Book Club is to read more books. By having the responsibility of the book club to run, I feel much less guilty letting myself take time to read books that are not for school work and I hope you will be willing to do the same for yourself!
Here is the lineup for our 2016 Second Chance Book Club!

I have lead The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks and will also lead Me Before You, The Lost City of Z, Maus, Passing, and The Paris Wife. Thus, Kelly will lead Seabiscuit, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, The Light Between Oceans, The BFG, Yes Please, and Bossypants.
Each month we will post a series of questions concerning the text we read. Feel free to answer all of the questions, some of the questions, or none of the questions (although that would make it difficult to participate) and join us each month, as you have time, or for just the title(s) that catch your fancy. Take our button, add it to your post, and link up with the month's host. If you don't have a blog, just leave your response in the comments.
When I imagine being part of a book club, I envision rolling out of bed on Saturday morning, throwing my hair on top of my head, putting on my coziest yet socially acceptable pants and a comfy top, and meeting up with some of my favorite ladies at a local coffee shop to talk about our book over our favorite drinks of choice. I'm looking forward to this little treat on the last Saturday of each month. Please join us!
