Post subject: ClairaBell's Book Club Welcome one and all to ClairaBell's Book Club. As soon as I saw Tracie's suggestion I just had to get it up and running.
In my book club (I have always wanted one) I thought we could each review the books we are currently/have already read. I am a BIG reader and I find that the books I read have been recommended by others. Anyways, I will start off by saying - at the minute I am reading The TIme Travellers Wife by Audrey Niffenegger. I have only just started it, but from the word go I was hooked. Its about a man that sufferes from a rare condition where his genetic clock sporadically resets and he finds himself in his past or future.  _________________ After 3 and half years of ttc, tests being clear and unable to adopt, we have decided to become a patchwork family. Me, my hubby and stepchildren. Its so sad to know I will never hear the word 'Mommy'.x Last edited by ClairaBell on Mon Oct 25, 2010 12:40 pm; edited 2 times in total Posted: Wed Sep 22, 2010 1:05 pm
Post subject: I'm reading Lee Childs 61 hours. It's about an ex MP guy who is a roamer and always ends up in towns that need help. This one has him stuck in a town that's had a murder and the people who did it are trying to murder the witness and start something dangerous off. Only on page 121 but absolutely hooked. Can't wait till my next bath to read some more. 5 stars so far

Post subject: Hi Claire
This is a great idea. I am a really big reader too. I have just finished reading The Ice Cream Girls by Dorothy Koomson. Its about two women who have been linked together by a tragic event that happened 20 years ago. And how that event shaped their lives and their future. Its a great book and it kept me hooked till the end. The next book ive started is The TIme Travellers Wife by Audrey Niffenegger too. _________________

Post subject: Well, the book is going well. I couldn't put it down last night.
Sometimes I fond books hard to read at the beginning until I get into the story. But this one was WOW from the word go. xx_________________ After 3 and half years of ttc, tests being clear and unable to adopt, we have decided to become a patchwork family.

yeah, i have a few of that type, a couple by cathy glass (cut, damaged; i had to stop reading damaged at one point, i felt so sick and was bawling my eyes out  ) whos a foster carer, and some by torey hayden, whos a special needs type teacher/therapist. two very special women to do what they do, helping mistreated kids find some sense of normality Posted: Thu Sep 23, 2010 3:57 pm

Ooohhh lalena ill have to keep my eyes peeled for that one x
hey angel, the torey hayden ones i have to hand are; silent boy just another kid one child and the tigers child, which is the sequal to one child. one child is another devastating one, it must be said
reading that kind of book makes you realise how awful some people are, but equally that there are some wonderful ones too xxx Posted: Thu Sep 23, 2010 5:42 pm
Post subject: The Time Traveller's Wife is one of the best books I've ever read - and I'm a big reader!
Hope you're still enjoying it Claire. I'm currently reading a really trashy chick lit book called Kiss from Heaven (or something) by Tasmina Perry. Its one of those ones where everyone is super successful / gorgeous / rich but I'm enjoying it - like reading a celeb magazine like Now - doesn't really tax the brain but nice easy reading I'm quite into Jodie Piccoult at the moment - trying to wade my way through them but my rubbish library had no decent books in the other day so I came away empty handed 
Does anyone have any other recommendations? _________________

Post subject: Ohh cool I am so excited I always wanted to be in a book club lol
I am currently reading Foursome by Adele Parks and Mini Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella. I am a big fan of both authors so am really enjoying both books. I have wanted to read The Time Traveler's Wife so would love to hear what you think of it Claire. I am going to NYC on Monday so will probably be dipping in and out of my Time Out NYC guide too in the next few days _________________ [img]http://global.thebump.com/tickers/ttc0074.aspx[/img]  Posted: Thu Sep 23, 2010 6:45 pm
