So So Lazy!

Here we go again showing off our laziness. As the moderator, I feel responsible for the lack of posts here. I have been LAZY lately. (By lazy I mean I have been working 30 hours a week taking 9 units of college classes, participating in a medical study at Stanford University, volunteering at my daughter's school and still finding time for showers occasionally) So I have randomly selected the next THREE book club books from the suggestion (Comment) box. Here is the list if you are following along at home:

The Fault In Our Stars by John Green:

 

Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel’s story is about to be completely rewritten.

Insightful, bold, irreverent, and raw, The Fault in Our Stars is award-winning-author John Green’s most ambitious and heartbreaking work yet, brilliantly exploring the funny, thrilling, and tragic business of being alive and in love.

Winner of the 2013 Children's Choice Teen Book of the Year Award

Under The Dome by Stephen King

 

On an entirely normal, beautiful fall day in Chester's Mill, Maine, the town is inexplicably and suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. Planes crash into it and fall from the sky in flaming wreckage, a gardener's hand is severed as "the dome" comes down on it, people running errands in the neighboring town are divided from their families, and cars explode on impact. No one can fathom what this barrier is, where it came from, and when — or if — it will go away.

 

Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

 

 

 

On a warm summer morning in North Carthage, Missouri, it is Nick and Amy Dunne’s fifth wedding anniversary. Presents are being wrapped and reservations are being made when Nick’s clever and beautiful wife disappears from their rented McMansion on the Mississippi River. Husband-of-the-Year Nick isn’t doing himself any favors with cringe-worthy daydreams about the slope and shape of his wife’s head, but passages from Amy's diary reveal the alpha-girl perfectionist could have put anyone dangerously on edge. Under mounting pressure from the police and the media—as well as Amy’s fiercely doting parents—the town golden boy parades an endless series of lies, deceits, and inappropriate behavior. Nick is oddly evasive, and he’s definitely bitter—but is he really a killer? 

 

Of course, as always, all of the books are optional and you can feel free to pick and choose which ones you want to read and when. If you choose to join us please take a little bit of time and write up a review after you have read the book. I will try to put up some writing prompts or book club questions in the next week or so to help you along if you need it.
